Abstract
A new cultivar of Dianthus plant named ‘WP10 VEN06’ which is characterized by cold tolerance, compact habit, glaucous foliage and fragrant double white flowers. In combination, these characteristics set ‘WP10 VEN06’ apart from all other existing varieties of Dianthus known to the inventor.
Description
Genus: Dianthus.
Species: ×hybrida.
Denomination: ‘WP10 VEN06’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of hardy garden pink or carnation that is grown for use as a flowering plant for pots and containers and for planting in the garden and landscape. The new cultivar is known botanically as Dianthus×hybrida and will be referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘WP10 VEN06’.
‘WP10 VEN06’ is a complex hybrid plant that is the product of a breeding program started by the inventor in 1985. The breeding program is conducted in a cultivated area of Houndspool, Dawlish, Devon, United Kingdom. The inventor selected ‘WP10 VEN06’ in 2004 for its fragrant flowers which are double and white in color.
‘WP10 VEN06’ resulted from the controlled pollination between two unreleased and unpatented selections of Dianthus from the inventor's breeding program, namely Selection ‘Noelle’ (unpatented and unreleased) as male parent and Selection ‘ASH2’ (unpatented and unreleased) as female parent.
‘WP10 VEN06’ is distinguishable from both parents by flower color. Whereas the flowers of ‘WP10 VEN06’ are double and white in color, the flowers of the male parent are double and carmine in color and the flowers of the female parent are semi-double and carmine in color.
The variety of Dianthus which is considered by the inventor to most closely resemble ‘WP10 VEN06’ is the inventor's variety Dianthus ‘Arctic Star’ (unpatented). The flowers of ‘Arctic Star’ are similarly double and white in color. However, the foliage of ‘Arctic Star’ is less glaucous than the foliage of ‘WP10 VEN06’. In addition, ‘Arctic Star’ has been found to be less hardy than other Dianthus varieties from the inventor's breeding program including ‘WP10 VEN06’.
Asexual reproduction of ‘WP10 VEN06’ was first accomplished by the inventor in 2004 in a cultivated area of Houndspool, United Kingdom. The method of asexual propagation used was vegetative cuttings. The inventor has determined that ‘WP10 VEN06’ is stable and reproduces true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new Dianthus cultivar ‘WP10 VEN06’. These traits in combination distinguish this cultivar from all other commercial varieties known to the inventor. ‘WP10 VEN06’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
-
- 1. Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ exhibits a compact habit.
- 2. The flowers of Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ are double.
- 3. The flowers of Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ are white in color.
- 4. Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ blooms from April through October.
- 5. Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ exhibits glaucous grey-green foliage.
- 6. At nine months of age, the height of the foliage mound of Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ is 20 cm to 24 cm, and the width is 10 cm to 13 cm.
- 7. Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ is perennial and is hardy to −15° C.
- 8. Dianthus ‘WP10 VEN06’ is suitable for use as a flowering plant in pots and containers.
The accompanying color drawings illustrate the overall appearance of the new Dianthus variety ‘WP10 VEN06’ showing colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the drawings may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describe the actual colors of the new variety ‘WP10 VEN06’.
The drawing labeled as FIG. 1 depicts an entire flowering plant of ‘WP10 VEN06’.
The drawing labeled as FIG. 2 depicts a close-up view of the flower of ‘WP10 VEN06’.
All drawings were made from 9 months old plants which have been grown in 1.5-litre containers in a cold glasshouse in Devon, United Kingdom. No chemicals were used to treat the plants. All drawings were made using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar ‘WP10 VEN06’. Data was collected in spring from 1.5-litre container plants in spring, and grown indoors in Devon, United Kingdom. The color determinations are in accordance with the 2001 edition of The Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The colors of stems, leaves, calyx, and epicalyx have been noted on plants which retain the characteristic waxy bloom of Dianthus. No chemicals were used to treat the plants. Growing conditions are typical to other Dianthus.
