Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant named ‘Chocolate Cherry’, characterized by its broadly upright plant habit; basally branching habit; glossy dark greyed purple-colored leaves; numerous light red purple-colored flowers; good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Sedum telephium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘CHOCOLATE CHERRY’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant, botanically known as Sedum telephium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Chocolate Cherry’.
The new Sedum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Warmond, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new strong, healthy and freely-flowering Sedum plants with attractive leaves and flowers.
The new Sedum plant originated from an open-pollination in July, 2010 in an outdoor nursery Warmond, The Netherlands of Sedum telephium ‘Karfunkelstein’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Sedum telephium, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Sedum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in an outdoor nursery in August, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Sedum plant by cuttings and by divisions in a controlled environment in Warmond, The Netherlands since March, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Sedum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Sedum 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 ‘Chocolate Cherry’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Chocolate Cherry’ as a new and distinct Sedum plant:
-
- 1. Broadly upright plant habit.
- 2. Basally branching habit.
- 3. Glossy dark greyed purple-colored leaves.
- 4. Numerous light red purple-colored flowers.
- 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Sedum differ from plants of the female parent, ‘Karfunkelstein’, primarily in flower bud and flower color as plants of ‘Karfunkelstein’ have dark green-colored flower buds and pinkish purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Sedum can also be compared to plants of Sedum telephium ‘Purple Emperor’, not patented. Plants of the new Sedum and ‘Purple Emperor’ differ primarily in leaf and flower color as plants of ‘Purple Emperor’ have greenish purple-colored leaves and pink-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Sedum 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 Sedum plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Chocolate Cherry’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Chocolate Cherry’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Chocolate Cherry’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the late summer and early autumn in an outdoor nursery in Warmond, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Sedum production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 6° C. to 18° C. Plants were two years 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.
