Abstract
A new and distinct Echinacea plant named ‘Dixie Belle’ characterized by an amazing number of inflorescences starting in the first season, very long bloom time with excellent rebloom, a very upright, compact habit, warm deep pink ray florets surrounding dark cones, numerous, strong dark stems, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Echinacea spp.
Variety designation: ‘Dixie Belle’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea and given the cultivar name ‘Dixie Belle’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. The new cultivar is part of a planned breeding program for a landscape series with compact habits and profuse inflorescences. The exact parents of this selection are unknown, unnamed, proprietary interspecific hybrids bred from Echinacea paradoxa, Echinacea purpurea, and Echinacea tennesseensis.
Compared to Echinacea ‘Glowing Dream’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/573,330), the new cultivar has wider leaves and inflorescences, and ray florets that are more hot pink in color.
This new Echinacea cultivar is uniquely distinguished by:
-
- 1. an amazing number of inflorescences starting in the first season,
- 2. very long bloom time with excellent rebloom,
- 3. very upright, compact habit,
- 4. bright warm deep pink ray florets surrounding dark cones,
- 5. numerous, strong stems, and
- 6. excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Echinacea cultivar based on observations of 18-month-old specimens growing in the garden in July in part sun in Canby, Oreg. Canby is in Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year in the trial fields in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 5th edition.
