Abstract

An Agapanthus plant particularly distinguished by large, bluish-purple inflorescences, and yellow and green variegated foliage, is disclosed.

Description

Genus and species: Agapanthus africanus.
Variety denomination: ‘HinesAg1’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of Agapanthus, botanically known as Agapanthus africanus, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘HinesAg1’. The new variety originated as a sport from tissue culture of Agapanthus africanus ‘Hinag’, commercially known as SUMMER GOLD ‘Hinag’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,866) in June 1999 in Irvine, Calif.
The new plant was first asexually propagated in Irvine, Calif. in 1999 and has been asexually reproduced by divisions for approximately 12.5 years in Irvine, Calif. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations by divisions.
‘HinesAg1’ has not been made publicly available or sold more than one year prior to the filing of this application.
SUMMARY
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of the new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Irvine, Calif.
    • 1. Large, bluish-purple inflorescences; and
    • 2. Yellow and green variegated foliage.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
This new Agapanthus plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show the overall plant habit, foliage and inflorescence of the plant. The colors are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs are of a 3-year old plants grown outdoors in Irvine, Calif. in May 2010.
FIG. 1 shows a the whole plant, including the habit, foliage and inflorescence.
FIG. 2 shows a close-up of the foliage.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘HinesAg1’. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Irvine, Calif.
