Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Sunsurfsirou’, characterized by its mounding and trailing plant habit; vigorous growth habit; early flowering habit; long flowering period; large white-colored flowers with light yellow green-colored venation; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUNSURFSIROU’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunsurfsirou’.
The new Petunia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Petunia plants with trailing habit and attractive flower coloration.
The new Petunia plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code name SB-W, not patented. The new Petunia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the mutation parent selection in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in October, 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since October, 2006 has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
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 ‘Sunsurfsirou’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunsurfsirou’ as a new and distinct Petunia plant:
-
- 1. Mounding and trailing plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Early flowering habit.
- 4. Long flowering period.
- 5. Large white-colored flowers with light yellow green-colored venation.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the mutation parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of the mutation parent selection in flower color as plants of the mutation parent selection have white-colored flowers with dull red purple-colored venation. In addition, plants of the new Petunia are more compact than plants of the mutation parent selection.
Plants of the new Petunia can also be compared to plants of the Petunia ‘Sunsurfhowa’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Petunia and ‘Sunsurfhowa’ differed primarily in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia were broader and had longer internodes than plants of ‘Sunsurfhowa’.
- 2. Leaf margins of plants of the new Petunia were more undulate than leaf margins of plants of ‘Sunsurfhowa’.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Sunsurfhowa’ differed in flower throat color as plants of ‘Sunsurfhowa’ had pale yellow green-colored flower throats with yellow green-colored venation.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs 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 at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunsurfsirou’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunsurfsirou’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer in 15-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and under cultural practices typical of commercial Petunia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 23° C. and night temperatures averaged 13° C. Plants were four months 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.
