Abstract

A new and distinct Verbena cultivar named ‘VVIPU08-0’ is disclosed, characterized by a compact, trailing plant habit, flexible stems and distinctive purple to red-purple flowers. The new variety is a Verbena, typically produced as a garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Verbena hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘VVIPU08-0’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The new variety originated from a cross pollination of the seed parent, an unnamed, unpatented proprietary selection of Verbena hybrid with the pollen parent a different unnamed, unpatented Verbena hybrid. The crossing was made during the Summer of 2009, at a research greenhouse in Munster, Germany. ‘VVIPU08-0’ was discovered by the inventor, Hubertus Volmary, a citizen of Germany, at the same research greenhouse during the Spring of 2010.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘VVIPU08-0’ was first performed in Munster Germany, at a commercial greenhouse by vegetative cuttings in Summer of 2010. ‘VVIPU08-0’ has since produced several generations and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘VVIPU08-0’ 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 ‘VVIPU08-0.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘VVIPU08-0’ as a new and distinct Verbena cultivar:
    • 1. Compact, trailing plant habit.
    • 2. Highly floriferous plants
    • 3. Flexible, non-brittle stems.
    • 4. Distinctive purple to red-purple flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘VVIPU08-0’ grown outdoors in Oxnard, Calif. This plant is approximately 2 months old, shown in a 6 inch pot.
The photograph was 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.
