Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant named ‘Duebeldona’, characterized by its compact, upright to outwardly spreading and semi-mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; and dark violet blue-colored flowers with white-colored centers.

Description

Botanical designation: Lobelia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DUEBELDONA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant, botanically known as Lobelia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Duebeldona’.
The new Lobelia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Lobelia plants with good vigor and numerous attractive flowers.
The new Lobelia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2010 of a proprietary selection of Lobelia hybrida identified as code number F-208-0402, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Lobelia hybrida identified as code number F-0119-002, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lobelia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany in May, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the Lobelia plant by vegetative cuttings in Rheinberg, Germany since June, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Lobelia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Lobelia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Duebeldona’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Duebeldona’ as a new and distinct Lobelia plant:
    • 1. Compact, upright to outwardly spreading and semi-mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Dark violet blue-colored flowers with white-colored centers.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lobelia are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lobelia and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lobelia are more compact than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lobelia and the male parent selection differ in flower color as flowers of plants of the male parent selection do not have distinct centers.
Plants of the new Lobelia can be compared to plants of Lobelia ‘Hot White’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Lobelia differed from plants of ‘Hot White’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were more compact than plants of ‘Hot White’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lobelia were more freely branching than plants of ‘Hot White’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Lobelia had smaller leaves than plants of ‘Hot White’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Lobelia flowered about one week earlier than plants of ‘Hot White’.
    • 5. Plants of the new Lobelia were more freely flowering than plants of ‘Hot White’.
    • 6. Plants of the new Lobelia and ‘Hot White’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Hot White’ had white-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Lobelia plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Lobelia plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Duebeldona’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 12-cm containers during the summer in a glass-covered greenhouse in Rheinberg, Germany and under cultural practices typical of commercial Lobelia production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 18° C. and light levels averaged 4,500 lux. Plants were pinched one time three weeks after planting and were 20 weeks old when the photograph and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
