Abstract

A new and distinct Petunia cultivar named ‘DCAS298’ is disclosed, characterized by large flowers colored dark purple with an ivory rim. The new variety is vigorous and very well branched. Plants flower abundantly and have a mounded, trailing shape. The new variety is a Petunia, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Petunia sensu wijsman.
Variety denomination:
‘DCAS298’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new Petunia cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Gavriel Danziger, in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Petunia varieties for ornamental commercial applications. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during December of 2010.
The seed parent is the unpatented commercial seedling variety referred to as Petunia ‘10-4241’. The pollen parent is the unpatented seedling variety referred to as Petunia ‘10-4179’, containing the black gene described in utility U.S. Pat. No. 7,642,436. The new variety was discovered in August of 2011 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2010 crossing, in a research greenhouse in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar has been performed by vegetative cuttings. This was first performed at a research greenhouse in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel in September of 2011 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in more than 25 generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘DCAS298’ 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 ‘DCAS298’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘DCAS298’ as a new and distinct Petunia cultivar:
    • 1. Mounded and trailing plant shape.
    • 2. Vigorous and very branched plant.
    • 3. Flower color is dark purple with ivory rim.
    • 4. Flower size is large.
    • 5. Abundant flowering.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DCAS298’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Petunia ‘10-4241’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘DCAS298’ are larger with more branches per plant than the seed parent. Flowers of ‘DCAS298’ are larger than flowers of the seed parent, and more flowers are produced per plant. The flower color of the new variety is dark purple flowers with an ivory colored rim compared to blue flowers with a white rim flowers of the seed parent. Additionally, ‘DCAS298’ produces a mounded, trailing plant habit compared to the semi upright plant habit of ‘10-4241’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DCAS298’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent; Petunia ‘10-4179’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘DCAS298’ are larger, with more branches per plant than the pollen parent. ‘DCAS298’ also produces an abundant quantity of dark purple flowers with an ivory colored rim compared to the medium quantity of dark purple flowers with white stripes of the pollen parent. Additionally ‘DCAS298’ produces a mounded trailing plant habit compared to the trailing plant habit of ‘10-4179’.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DCAS298’ are comparable to the variety Petunia ‘Balpephan’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,440, and which contains utility U.S. Pat. No. 7,642,436. The two Petunia varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘DCAS298’ differs in producing dark purple flowers with an ivory colored rim compared to the purple flowers with wide yellow stripes of the comparator ‘Balpephan’. Additionally ‘DCAS298’ produces a mounded-trailing and very well branched plant form compared to the mounded and lesser branched form of comparator ‘Balpephan’. Additionally ‘DCAS298’ produces flowers with a flat interior aspect, compared to the curved, rolled floral interior of comparator ‘Balpephan’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DCAS298’ can also be compared to the commercial variety Petunia ‘Balpepin’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,414, U.S. Pat. No. 7,642,436. These varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however ‘DCAS298’ produces smaller dark purple flowers with an ivory colored rim compared to the larger purple with yellowish-white striped flowers of comparator ‘Balpepin’. ‘DCAS298’ produces a plant with medium width leaves compared to the wide leaves of comparator ‘Balpepin’. Additionally ‘DCAS298’ produces a mounded-trailing and very well branched plant form compared to the semi-upright and moderately branched form of comparator ‘Balpepin’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘DCAS298’ grown in a greenhouse, in a 13 cm pot. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 3 months from a rooted cutting.
FIG. 2 illustrates in full color a close up of a typical bloom of ‘DCAS298’.
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.
