Abstract

A new Verbena plant particularly distinguished by burgundy flowers and a semi-upright growth habit, is disclosed.

Description

Genus and species: Verbena sp.
Variety denomination: ‘KLEVP13441’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of Verbena, botanically known as Verbena sp., and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘KLEVP13441’. ‘KLEVP13441’ originated from a cross-pollination conducted in June 2008 in Sydney, Australia between the proprietary female Verbena variety ‘07.15.35’ (unpatented), and the proprietary male Verbena variety ‘15.79.03’ (unpatented).
The seeds from the cross were sown and plants were grown in a greenhouse for evaluation, where an individual plant designated ‘KLEVP13441’ was selected from the group of plants in October 2008.
In January 2009, ‘KLEVP13441’ was first vegetatively propagated by vegetative stem cuttings in Sydney, Australia. ‘KLEVP13441’ was found to reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation via vegetative stem cuttings in Stuttgart, Germany.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
Plant Breeder's Rights for ‘KLEVP13441’ were applied for in Canada on Feb. 8, 2013, Application No. 13-7929. ‘KLEVP13441’ has not been made publicly available or sold more than one year prior to the filing date of this application.
SUMMARY
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Stuttgart, Germany.
    • 1. Burgundy flowers; and
    • 2. A semi-upright growth habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Verbena plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows the plant's overall plant habit including form, foliage, and flowers. The photograph is of a five-month-old plant grown outdoors in Stuttgart, Germany in April 2011. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘KLEVP13441’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Stuttgart, Germany. Data was collected on three-month-old plants grown in a greenhouse in Stuttgart, Germany in February 2013. Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), 5th edition (2007).
