Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant named ‘Rose Princess’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; red purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Lobelia speciosa.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ROSE PRINCESS’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant, botanically known as Lobelia speciosa and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Rose Princess’.
The new Lobelia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Langford, Maldon, Essex, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact and uniform Lobelia plants with numerous attractive flowers.
The new Lobelia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2008 of two proprietary seedling selections of Lobelia speciosa, not patented. The new Lobelia 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 Langford, Maldon, Essex, United Kingdom in 2009.
Asexual reproduction of the Lobelia plant by vegetative cuttings in Hillegom, The Netherlands since the summer of 2009 has shown that the unique features of this new Lobelia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Lobelia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. 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 ‘Rose Princess’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Rose Princess’ as a new and distinct Lobelia plant:
-
- 1. Upright and compact plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Long flowering period.
- 6. Red purple-colored flowers.
- 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia are more compact than plants of the parent selections.
- 2. Plants of the new Lobelia grow more uniformly than plants of the parent selections.
- 3. Plants of the new Lobelia have darker-colored leaves than plants of the parent selections.
- 4. Plants of the new Lobelia are more freely flowering than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Lobelia can be compared to plants of Lobelia speciosa ‘Fan Salmon’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Langford, Maldon, Essex, United Kingdom, plants of the new Lobelia differed from plants of ‘Fan Salmon’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were more compact than plants of ‘Fan Salmon’.
- 2. Plants of the new Lobelia grew more uniformly than plants of ‘Fan Salmon’.
- 3. Plants of the new Lobelia and ‘Fan Salmon’ differed in leaf color.
- 4. Plants of the new Lobelia were more freely flowering than plants of ‘Fan Salmon’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Lobelia 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 actual colors of the new Lobelia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Rose Princess’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Rose Princess’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown during the summer in ground beds in an outdoor nursery in Vogelenzang, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Lobelia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 28° C. and night temperatures ranged from 8° C. to 18° C. Plants were two years old when the photograph and the 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.
