Abstract

A new and distinct Yucca cultivar named ‘Yugosta02’ is disclosed, characterized by green margins and a lighter interior foliage coloration. The new variety is a Yucca, typically produced as an ornamental plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Yucca guatemalensis.
Variety denomination: ‘Yugosta02’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is the product of chance discovery. The new variety originated as a naturally occurring mutation of an unpatented, variety Yucca guatemalensis ‘Silver Star’.
The new variety was discovered by the inventor, Ruud A. M. Scheffers, a citizen of the Netherlands, in July of 2009 in a commercial greenhouse belonging to the inventor in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands. After identifying the new variety as a potentially interesting selection, the inventor continued confidential testing and propagation of ‘Yugosta02’ assessing stability of the unique characteristics of this variety.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Yugosta02’ was first performed at the commercial greenhouse of the inventor in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands by vegetative cuttings in July of 2009. Access to all plants was restricted, as plants were kept in a locked greenhouse not open to the public. Through subsequent propagation by vegetative cuttings, multiple generations have been reproduced, which have shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Yugosta02’ 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 ‘Yugosta02’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yugosta02’ as a new and distinct Yucca cultivar:
    • 1. Variegated leaves, with green margins and lighter colored interior.
PARENT COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Yugosta02’ are similar to the parent, Yucca guatemalensis ‘Silver Star’ in most horticultural characteristics. The new variety, however, produces leaves with a different color of margin compared to those of the parent.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
‘Yugosta02’ is in plant habit, and other horticultural characteristics most similar to the parent variety.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘Yugosta02’ grown in a commercial greenhouse in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands. This plant is approximately 48 months old, shown planted in a 5 liter container. 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.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘Yugosta02’ plants grown in a greenhouse in Honselersdijk, The Netherlands. A steady temperature of approximately 20° C. at night and 20° C. during the day was maintained. No artificial light, photoperiodic treatments were given to the plants. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
  • Botanical classification: Yucca guatemalensis ‘Yugosta02’.
