Abstract
A new cultivar of Astrantia ‘Star of Treasure’ characterized by its flowers that are lilac white with pink red markings, its flower bracts that are tipped with pink-red, and its relatively low and compact plant habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Astrantia spp. hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Star of Treasure’.
This application is co-pending with a U.S. Plant Patent applications filed for a cultivar derived from the same breeding program entitled Astrantia Plant Named ‘Star of Passion’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/506,294).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Astrantia, botanically of hybrid origin and known as Astrantia ‘Star of Treasure’ and will be referred to hereinafter by its cultivar name, ‘Star of Treasure’.
The new cultivar originated from open pollination done by the Inventor in 1999 in Woubrugge, The Netherlands. Both the male and female parents were unnamed plants from the Inventor's breeding program. The specific parents are not known as seeds from various female plants were pooled. The Inventor selected ‘Star of Treasure’ as a single unique plant in 2010.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by division by the Inventor in Woubrugge, The Netherlands in 2010. Propagation by division and tissue culture has determined that the characteristics of this cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the characteristics of ‘Star of Treasure’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Star of Treasure’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Astrantia.
-
- 1. ‘Star of Treasure’ exhibits flowers that are lilac white with pink red markings.
- 2. ‘Star of Treasure’ exhibits flower bracts that are tipped with pink-red.
- 3. ‘Star of Treasure’ exhibits a relatively low and compact plant habit; reaching about 70 cm in height.
‘Star of Treasure’ can be most closely compared to the cultivars ‘Hadspen Blood’ (not patented), ‘Star of Beauty’ (not patented) and ‘Star of Passion’. ‘Hadspen Blood’ differs from ‘Star of Treasure’ in being taller in height and in having purple-pink flowers and bracts. ‘Star of Beauty’ differs from ‘Star of Treasure’ in having white flowers that have more purple coloration and in having bracts that are rosy purple on both surfaces. ‘Star of Passion’ differs from ‘Star of Treasure’ in having flowers that are grey white with dark purple tips and bracts that are dark purple on the lower surface.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of a two-year old plant of the new Astrantia as field grown in de Hoef, The Netherlands (containerized for the photo).
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Star of Treasure’.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up of the flowers ‘Star of Treasure’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up of a leaf ‘Star of Treasure’. The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized. The color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Astrantia.
The following is a detailed description of two-year-old plants of the new cultivar as field grown outdoors in De Hoef, Netherlands. Plants were grown under average day temperatures ranging from 15° to 28° C. and average night temperatures of 5° to 14° C. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2007 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
