Abstract

A new and distinct Petunia cultivar named ‘DLITT299’ is disclosed, characterized by small, very dark purple flowers with greenish-yellow stripes, triangles or dots around the margin. The new variety is of medium vigor and moderately well branched as well as abundant in flowering and of mounded 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: ‘DLITT299’. 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 March of 2011.
The seed parent is the unpatented non-commercial seedling variety referred to as Petunia ‘8-2651’. The pollen parent is the unpatented seedling variety referred to as Petunia ‘10-4179’, containing the black gene described in utility patent U.S. Pat. No. 7,642,436. The new variety was discovered in September of 2011 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2011 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 October 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 ‘DLITT299’ 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 ‘DLITT299’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘DLITT299’ as a new and distinct Petunia cultivar:
    • 1. Mounded plant shape.
    • 2. Moderate branching.
    • 3. Flower color is very dark purple with greenish-yellow stripes, triangles or dots around the margin.
    • 4. Flower size is small.
    • 5. Abundant flowering.
    • 6. Medium vigor.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DLITT299’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Petunia ‘8-2651’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘DLITT299’ are smaller, and less branched than the seed parent. ‘DLITT299’ also produces an abundant quantity of very dark purple flowers with greenish-yellow stripes, triangles or dots around the margin, compared to the medium quantity of medium size blue flowers with the white rim of the seed parent. Additionally ‘DLITT299’ produces a mounded plant habit compared to the semi upright plant habit of the seed parent ‘8-2651’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DLITT299’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent; Petunia ‘10-4179’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘DLITT299’ produce an abundant quantity of small very dark purple flowers with greenish-yellow stripes, triangles or dots around the margin compared to the medium quantity of large, dark purple flowers with white stripes of the seed parent. Additionally ‘DLITT299’ produces a mounded plant habit compared to the trailing plant habit of ‘10-4179’.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DLITT299’ are comparable to the variety Petunia ‘Balpephan’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,440. The two Petunia varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘DLITT299’ differs in producing smaller, very dark purple flowers with greenish-yellow stripes, triangles or dots around the margin compared to the purple flowers with wide yellow stripes of the comparator ‘Balpephan’. Additionally ‘DLITT299’ produces leaves of small size whereas leaves of comparator ‘Balpephan’ are of medium size. Plants of ‘DLITT299’ produce flowers with a flat interior aspect compared to the curved, rolled inside of flowers of comparator ‘Balpephan’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DLITT299’ can also be compared to the commercial variety Petunia ‘Balpepin’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,414. These varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however ‘DLITT299’ produces smaller very dark purple flowers with greenish-yellow stripes, triangles or dots around the margin compared to the larger purple flowers with yellow-white stripes of comparator ‘Balpepin’. Foliage of ‘DLITT299’ is narrow compared to the wide leaves of comparator ‘Balpepin’. Additionally ‘DLITT299’ produces a mounded plant form of medium vigor compared to the vigorous, semi-upright form of comparator ‘Balpepin’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘DLITT299’ 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 ‘DLITT299’.
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.
