Abstract

A new Lobelia plant named ‘LOBZ0001’ particularly distinguished by the purple-violet colored flowers with distinct purple markings on the lower petals, medium green leaves, strong stems, freely branching, and semi-upright to semi-trailing plant habit.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Lobelia erinus.
Varietal denomination: ‘LOBZ0001’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia, botanically known as Lobelia erinus and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘LOBZ0001’.
‘LOBZ0001’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has purple-violet colored flowers with distinct purple markings on the lower petals, medium green leaves, strong stems, freely branching, and semi-upright to semi-trailing plant habit.
‘LOBZ0001’ originated from a hybridization made in March 2006 in Andijk, Netherlands. The female parent was the proprietary unpatented plant designated ‘LOB05-216-3’, having larger flowers, somewhat less deep green foliage and thinner stems.
The male parent of ‘LOBZ0001’ was the proprietary, unpatented plant designated ‘LOB05-218-11’, having smaller petals, foliage with stronger pubescence, and more spreading, less trailing plant habit.
The resulting seeds were sown June 2006 and ‘LOBZ0001’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in August 2006 in a controlled environment in Andijk, Netherlands.
The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘LOBZ0001’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in the fall of 2006 in a controlled environment in Andijk, Netherlands.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in the spring of 2007 in Andijk, Netherlands, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘LOBZ0001’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
‘LOBZ0001’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.
Plant Breeder's rights for this cultivar were applied for in Canada on Dec. 24, 2010; #10-7138 and in the European Union on Oct. 15, 2010, #2010/1757. ‘LOBZ0001’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Lobelia as a new and distinct variety.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘LOBZ0001’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.
The photographic drawing shows in FIG. 1. a flowering plant of the new variety and in FIG. 2. a close-up of the flowers.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs, plant measurements and descriptions were taken in Andijk, Netherlands in May 2011 on 12-14 week-old plants that were growing in 10 cm pots in a greenhouse at relatively cool conditions of about 14-16 degrees C. minimum temperature. Plants received 1 terminal pinch of the apices at an early age.
