Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Gerbera plant named ‘Garjasmina Imp.’, characterized by its compact, broadly upright and uniformly mounding plant habit; dense and bushy appearance; numerous inflorescences with red and red purple-colored ray florets arranged on upright and strong scapes; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Gerbera hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘GARJASMINA IMP.’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gerbera plant, botanically known as Gerbera hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Garjasmina Imp.’.
The new Gerbera plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Gerbera plants with numerous inflorescences, good garden performance, frost tolerance and attractive inflorescence coloration.
The new Gerbera plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Gerbera hybrida ‘Garjasmina’, not patented. The new Gerbera plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within a population of plants of ‘Garjasmina’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in April, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the new Gerbera plant by cuttings and by tissue culture in a controlled environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since September, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Gerbera plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Gerbera have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Garjasmina Imp.’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Garjasmina Imp.’ as a new and distinct Gerbera plant:
    • 1. Compact, broadly upright and uniformly mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Dense and bushy appearance.
    • 3. Numerous inflorescences with red and red purple-colored ray florets.
    • 4. Upright and strong scapes.
    • 5. Good garden performance, relatively tolerant to rain, wind and low temperatures.
Plants of the new Gerbera differ from plants of the parent, ‘Garjasmina’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Gerbera are more vigorous than plants of ‘Garjasmina’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Gerbera have larger leaves than plants of ‘Garjasmina’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Gerbera have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Garjasmina’.
Plants of the new Gerbera can be compared to plants of the Gerbera hybrida ‘Garlisa’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,804. Plants of the new Gerbera differ from plants of ‘Garlisa’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Gerbera have narrower leaves than plants of ‘Garlisa’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Gerbera and ‘Garlisa’ differ in ray floret shape as plants of ‘Garlisa’ have narrowly elliptic-shaped ray florets.
    • 3. Plants of the new Gerbera and ‘Garlisa’ differ slightly in ray floret color as plants of ‘Garlisa’ have red purple-colored ray florets.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Gerbera 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 colors of the new Gerbera plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Garjasmina Imp.’ grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the autumn and early winter in 15-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Kwakel, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Gerbera production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 16° C. and night temperatures averaged 10° C. Rooted young tissue-cultured plants were five months old when the photograph and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
