Abstract

A new and distinct Gazania cultivar named ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ is disclosed, characterized by compact plant habit, large flower size and unique tricolored flowers. The new variety is a Gazania, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Gazania splendens.
Variety denomination: ‘LOMGAZWHTR’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new Gazania cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Henry Lommerse, in a commercial greenhouse in Mariahout, the Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Gazania varieties. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during June of 2007.
The seed parent is the unpatented, proprietary variety Gazania ‘8162/07’. The pollen parent is the unpatented, proprietary variety Gazania ‘5711/07’. The new variety was identified as a potentially interesting selection in Jul. 3, 2008, at a commercial greenhouse in Mariahout, the Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ by vegetative cuttings was first performed during May of 2009, at a commercial greenhouse in Mariahout, the Netherlands. Subsequent propagation has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ as a new and distinct Gazania cultivar:
    • 1. Compact plant habit.
    • 2. Large flower size.
    • 3. Unique tricolored flower.
    • 4. Flowers stay open during a long part of the day, including dark evening hours.
    • 5. Commercially useful as garden plant.
    • 6. Uniquely suited for container plant use.
PARENT COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Gazania ‘8162/07’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ produce larger flowers with more vivid coloration than the seed parent.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Gazania ‘5711/07’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ are more compact and flower earlier than the pollen parent.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar are best compared to the unpatented commercial variety Gazania ‘Gazoo Yellow’. Plants of the new variety produce tricolored flower color compared to the yellow flower color of ‘Gazoo Yellow’. Additionally, flowers of the new variety are open for a longer period and flower continuously, rather than sporadically.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘LOMGAZWHTR’ grown outdoors in Mariahout, the Netherlands, in in the ground in a trial field. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 6 months from a rooted cutting.
FIG. 2 illustrates in full color a typical inflorescence of ‘LOMGAZWHTR’.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
