Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Celosia plant named ‘Zancetopicsun’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; bright yellow-colored flowers arranged on cristate-type inflorescences; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Celosia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ZANCETOPICSUN’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Celosia plant, botanically known as Celosia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Zancetopicsun’.
The new Celosia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hillegom, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact and uniform Celosia plants with attractive flower coloration.
The new Celosia plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Celosia hybrida ‘Zancetopicyel’, not patented. The new Celosia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within a population of plants of ‘Zancetopicyel’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands on May 24, 2010.
Asexual reproduction of the new Celosia plant by cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands since Jun. 28, 2010 has shown that the unique features of this new Celosia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Celosia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental 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 ‘Zancetopicsun’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Zancetopicsun’ as a new and Celosia plant:
    • 1. Compact and broadly upright plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Bright yellow-colored flowers arranged on cristate-type inflorescences.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Celosia differ primarily from plants of the mutation parent, ‘Zancetopicyel’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Celosia are more uniform than plants of ‘Zancetopicyel’.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Celosia are brighter yellow in color than flowers of plants of ‘Zancetopicyel’.
Plants of the new Celosia can be compared to plants of Celosia argentea ‘Zancelpi’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,300. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Celosia and ‘Zancelpi’ differed primarily in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Celosia were more compact than plants of ‘Zancelpi’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Celosia and ‘Zancelpi’ differed in flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Celosia 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 Celosia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Zancetopicsun’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering stem and upper surfaces of typical developing and fully expanded leaves of ‘Zancetopicsun’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the spring in 9-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 22° C. Plants were pinched one time about 2.5 weeks after planting and were ten weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
