Abstract
A new and distinct Echinacea plant named ‘Phoenix’ characterized by medium, yellow orange ray florets, a medium upright habit, well-branched, strong stems, and good vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Echinacea spp.
Variety designation: ‘Phoenix’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea and given the cultivar name ‘Phoenix’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. This new cultivar is a fourth generation seedling originating from a planned breeding program using Echinacea paradoxa as the seed parent in the original cross and Echinacea purpurea ‘Ruby Giant’ (an unpatented plant) as the pollen parent. The exact parents of this selection are unknown, unnamed, proprietary plants.
Compared to Echinacea paradoxa, an unpatented plant and one of the original parents to the breeding line, the new cultivar has a much shorter habit and a flatter inflorescence rather than strongly drooping.
Compared to Echinacea ‘Tiki Torch’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,839), the new cultivar has lighter orange flowers and a shorter habit.
Compared to Echinacea ‘Art's Pride’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,090), the new variety has lighter orange ray florets, lighter colored cones, and a shorter habit.
This new Echinacea cultivar is uniquely distinguished by:
-
- 1. medium, yellow orange ray florets,
- 2. medium upright habit,
- 3. well branched, strong stems, and
- 4. good vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The photograph shows the inflorescences of Echinacea ‘Phoenix’ from a one and a half year old plant grown in the field in full sun in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Echinacea cultivar based on observations of 9 month-old specimens growing in the 1 gallon pots in full sun outside in Canby, Oreg. Canby is in Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year in the trial fields in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 5th edition.
