Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Fipetpurheart’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and mounding growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; large purple-colored flowers with dark purple-colored venation; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘FIPETPURHEART’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Fipetpurheart’.
The new Petunia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-branching Petunia plants with early and freely flowering habit, and attractive flower color.
The new Petunia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2008 in De Lier, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code number For 111060, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code number For 111070. The new Petunia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Lier, The Netherlands in 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Lier, The Netherlands since 2009 has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Petunia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Fipetpurheart’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fipetpurheart’ as a new and distinct Petunia plant:
    • 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and mounding growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Large purple-colored flowers with dark purple-colored venation.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more vigorous than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more upright than and not as trailing as plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia have larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of Petunia×hybrida ‘Fort Purple Vein’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,333. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of ‘Fort Purple Vein’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more upright than plants of ‘Fort Purple Vein’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia had larger flowers than plants of ‘Fort Purple Vein’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Fort Purple Vein’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Fort Purple Vein’ had light violet-colored flowers with dark violet-colored venation.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Petunia plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia plant. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Fipetpurheart’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 10.5-cm containers during the winter in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Lier, The Netherlands.
