Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Tradescantia plant named ‘Good Luck’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; strong and healthy leaves; freely flowering habit; purple-colored flowers; long flowering period; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Tradescantia andersoniana.
Cultivar denomination: ‘GOOD LUCK’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Tradescantia plant, botanically known as Tradescantia andersoniana and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Good Luck’.
The new Tradescantia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Anna Paulowna, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new compact Tradescantia plants with attractive flower coloration.
The new Tradescantia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2004 in Anna Paulowna, The Netherlands, of two unnamed seedling selections of Tradescantia andersoniana, not patented. The new Tradescantia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Anna Paulowna, The Netherlands in 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new Tradescantia plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in Anna Paulowna, The Netherlands since 2006 has shown that the unique features of this new Tradescantia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Tradescantia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Good Luck’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Good Luck’ as a new and distinct Tradescantia plant:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Strong and healthy leaves.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Purple-colored flowers.
- 5. Long flowering period.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Tradescantia and the parent selections differ primarily in plant size as plants of the new Tradescantia are more compact than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Tradescantia can be compared to plants of the Tradescantia andersoniana ‘Bilberry Ice’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Anna Paulowna, The Netherlands, plants of the new Tradescantia and ‘Bilberry Ice’ differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Tradescantia were more compact than plants of ‘Bilberry Ice’.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Tradescantia were stronger and healthier than leaves of plants of ‘Bilberry Ice’.
- 3. Plants of the new Tradescantia were more freely flowering than plants of ‘Bilberry Ice’.
- 4. Plants of the new Tradescantia flowered for a longer period of time than plants of ‘Bilberry Ice’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Tradescantia plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Tradescantia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Good Luck’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Good Luck’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of typical leaves of ‘Good Luck’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in two-liter containers during the late summer in an outdoor nursery in Boskoop, The Netherlands and under commercial cultural practices. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 25° C. and night temperatures ranged from 4° C. to 16° C. Plants were two years old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
