Abstract

A new and distinct Echinacea plant named ‘Aloha’ characterized by large yellow orange to cream inflorescences, broad, overlapping ray florets, a strong, upright, short habit, strong, well branched stems, and excellent vigor.

Description

Botanical denomination: Echinacea spp.
Variety designation: ‘Aloha’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea and given the cultivar name ‘Aloha’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. This new cultivar is a fourth generation seeding originating from a planned breeding program using Echinacea paradoxa (an unpatented plant) 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 Harvest Moon™ (‘Matthew Saul’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,652), the new variety is shorter and has larger inflorescences with has longer and wider ray florets, also the ray florets are held horizontally rather than strongly reflexed.
This new Echinacea cultivar is distinguished by:
    • 1. large yellow orange to cream inflorescences,
    • 2. broad, overlapping ray florets,
    • 3. strong, upright, short habit,
    • 4. strong, well branched stems, and
    • 5. excellent 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.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 shows one-year-old plants of Echinacea ‘Aloha’ in full bloom growing in the trial field in full sun in September in Canby, Oreg.
