Abstract
A new and distinct Salvia cultivar named ‘EGGBEN001’ is disclosed, characterized by a dense, bushy plant habit, distinctive light mauve colored flowers, and a rigid, short inflorescence. The new variety is a Salvia, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Salvia microphylla×greggii.
Variety denomination: ‘EGGBEN001’.
The new Salvia cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Steve Eggleton, in Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Salvia varieties with denser plant habits, strong garden performance, in a range of flower colors. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during April 2006.
The seed parent is the unpatented, Salvia microphylla ‘Trenance’. The pollen parent is the unpatented, proprietary variety Salvia greggii ‘005’. The new variety was identified as a potentially interesting selection in October 2006, at a research greenhouse in Wonga Park, Australia. Further observations and evaluations were made during 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘EGGBEN001’ by vegetative cuttings was first performed during 2007, at a research greenhouse in Wonga Park. Subsequent propagation has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
The cultivar ‘EGGBEN001’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘EGGBEN001’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘EGGBEN001’ as a new and distinct Salvia cultivar:
-
- 1. Bushy plant habit.
- 2. Light mauve colored flowers.
- 3. Short inflorescence.
- 4. Strong, rigid inflorescence.
- 5. Dense plant habit.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘EGGBEN001’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Salvia microphylla ‘Trenance’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘EGGBEN001’ are denser, with a less upright plant habit.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘EGGBEN001’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Salvia greggii ‘005’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘EGGBEN001’ produce light mauve colored flowers whereas the pollen parent produces red flowers.
Plants of the new cultivar are best compared to the commercial variety Salvia gregii ‘Navajo Rose’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,699. Plants of the new variety produce different colored flower, with more purple coloration. Plants of ‘EGGBEN001’ tolerate humid conditions better than the comparator. Additionally, the varieties differ in leaf shape.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical flower of ‘EGGBEN001’.
Age of the plant photographed is approximately 20 weeks from an unrooted cutting. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘EGGBEN001’ plants grown in a greenhouse in Watsonville, Calif. The growing temperature ranged from 10° C. to 28° C.
