Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named ‘DASYVOGTYVE’, characterized by its cylindrical upright shape, with stiff and strong lateral stems and thick (mostly compound) leaves with up to 15 leaflets; color of mature leaves are RHS Yellow-Green 147A (upper side), RHS Greyed-Green 191A (Underside); compound leaves 10-25 cm (4-10 in) in length, and 10-23 cm (4-9 in) in width. The few single leaves, present near ground level, are 8-18 cm (3.1-7 in) in length and 4-9 cm (1.6-3.5 in) in width. Composite flower heads are 13-15 cm (5.1-5.9 in) in diameter, with a large number of ray florets (about 150 to 200). The ray florets are RHS Green-Yellow 1A near base, transforming into RHS Orange-White at the middle, transforming into RHS Red-Purple N74C at the apex.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the claimed plant: Dahlia Cav.

Variety denomination: ‘DASYVOGTYVE’.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant (breeders reference: 7102F), botanically known as Dahlia Cav., of the Compositae (Asteraceae) family. Hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘DASYVOGTYVE’.

The new Dahlia cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Rune Nielsen, in Stige, Denmark. The objective of the breeding program is to develop a new Dahlia cultivar with an upright, strong and healthy growth habit, suitable for large scale container production and with good garden performance; fully double flowers (composite flower heads with many ray florets) with an attractive inflorescence color.

The new Dahlia cultivar originated from a cross, made in a controlled breeding program by the inventor in 2009, in Stige, Denmark. The female or seed parent is a pink Dahlia cultivar designated ‘Gallery Bellini’ (patented, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,162 P2). The male or pollen parent is a light violet colored Dahlia variety designated 5187C (unpatented).

Asexual reproduction of the new Dahlia cultivar by terminal cuttings was first performed in November, 2010 in Stige, Denmark, and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new cultivar reproduces true to type.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be unique characteristics of ‘DASYVOGTYVE’, which in combination distinguish this Dahlia as a new and distinct cultivar:

- 1. Cultivar with cylindrical upright shape;
- 2. Cultivar with stiff and strong lateral stems and thick, mostly compound leaves, with up to 15 leaflets. Color of mature leaves are RHS Yellow-Green 147A, but darker (upper side), RHS Greyed-Green 191A (underside);
- 3. Compound leaves 10-25 cm (4-10 in) in length, and 10-23 cm (4-9 in) in width. The few single leaves present near ground level are 8-18 cm (3.1-7 in) in length and 4-9 cm (1.6-3.5 in) in width;
- 4. Composite flower heads, 13-15 cm (5.1-5.9 in) in diameter, with a large number of ray florets (about 150 to 200); and
- 5. Ray florets which are RHS Green-Yellow 1A near base, transforming into RHS Orange-White 159C at the middle, transforming into RHS Red-Purple N74C at the apex.

Plants of the new Dahlia ‘DASYVOGTYVE’ differ from plants of the parent, ‘Gallery Bellini’ (patented, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,162 P2) in the traits described in Table 1. (The unpatented male parent 5187C is no longer available for comparison).

DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

The new Dahlia ‘DASYVOGTYVE’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without any change in the genotype of the plant.

The aforementioned photographs, together with the following observations, measurements and values describe the new Dahlia ‘DASYVOGTYVE’ as grown in a protected environment in a glass, greenhouse in Fyn, Odense, Denmark, under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice. During propagation, conducted in a glasshouse, vegetative cuttings were planted in small propagation pots with peat as substrate, and then placed in a plastic tunnel averaging about 21° C. (69.8° F.) and received photoperiodic treatments of 18 hours. Supplementary light was given when natural light fell below 3000-4000 Lux. Rooting occurred about 9-12 days after planting. In third week after sticking the cutting, the young plants were potted in a 19 cm pot in a glass covered greenhouse, maintained at 18-22° C. (64.4-71.6° F.) during the day (warmer during sunny days), and at 17-19° C. (62.6-66.2° F.) during the night. Photoperiodic treatments were continued at 18 hours, and supplementary light was given when natural light fell below 3000-4000 Lux. Irrigation was done with water. The EC (μS/m) measured in the soil was maintained between 2.0 to 3.0. One week after potting, the first growth regulation was given: a spray with 85% daminozide, 0.2%, 40-100 ml/m². During the production time, 9 additional sprayings were given with 85% daminozide, 0.2%, 40-100 ml/m2.

Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.), 2001 edition, except where general colors of ordinary significance are used. Color values were taken under June daylight conditions at approximately 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM in Fyn, Odense, Denmark. The age of the ‘DASYVOGTYVE’ plants described is 12 weeks (including propagation time).
