Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Caladium plant named ‘Sangria’, characterized by its short to intermediate in height, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; undulate lance-type leaves that have rose red-colored centers and contrasting dark green-colored margins; and good landscape performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Caladium×hortulanum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SANGRIA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Caladium plant, botanically known as Caladium×hortulanum, commercially referred to as a lance (strap) leaf-type Caladium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sangria’.
The objective of the Inventor's breeding program is to create new Caladium plants that have uniform plant habit, exceptional container and garden performance and attractive and unique leaf coloration.
The new Caladium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in April, 2008 in Avon Park, Fla. of Caladium×hortulanum ‘John Peed’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Caladium×hortulanum ‘White Wonder’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,044, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Caladium plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Zolfo Springs, Fla. on September, 2009.
Asexual reproduction of the new Caladium plant by ‘chipping’ the tubers (cutting the tuber into segments with each segment containing an axillary bud and tuber cortical tissue) in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Lake Placid, Fla. since April, 2010 has shown that the unique features of this new Caladium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Caladium have not been observed under all possible 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 ‘Sangria’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sangria’ as a new and distinct Caladium plant:
    • 1. Short to intermediate in height, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
    • 3. Undulate lance-type leaves that have rose red-colored centers and contrasting dark green-colored margins.
    • 4. Good landscape performance and relatively tolerant to high light conditions.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘John Peed’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Caladium are slightly shorter than plants of ‘John Peed’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Caladium are faster growing and produce finished plants about one week earlier than plants of ‘John Peed’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘John Peed’ differ in leaf shape and color as leaves of plants of ‘John Peed’ are fancy-types with dark red-colored centers and dark green-colored margins.
    • 4. Plants of the Caladium and ‘John Peed’ differ in leaf petiole coloration.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘White Wonder’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Caladium are slightly taller than plants of ‘White Wonder’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Caladium are slower growing and produce finished plants about one week later than plants of ‘White Wonder’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘White Wonder’ differ in leaf color as leaves of plants of ‘White Wonder’ are white to grey-green in color with red-colored basal notches, light pink to white-colored venation and dark green-colored borders.
    • 4. Plants of the Caladium and ‘White Wonder’ differ in leaf petiole coloration.
Plants of the new Caladium can be compared to plants of Caladium×hortulanum ‘Florida Sweetheart’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,526. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differed primarily from plants of ‘Florida Sweetheart’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Caladium were slightly taller than plants of ‘Florida Sweetheart’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Caladium were faster-growing and produced finished plants about one week earlier than plants of ‘Florida Sweetheart’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Florida Sweetheart’ differed in leaf color as leaves of plants of ‘Florida Sweetheart’ were pink in color with greenish white-colored margins and rose pink-colored venation.
    • 4. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Florida Sweetheart’ differed in leaf petiole color.
Plants of the new Caladium can be compared to plants of Caladium×hortulanum ‘Rosemary’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,993. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differed primarily from plants of ‘Rosemary’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Caladium were shorter than plants of ‘Rosemary’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Caladium produced finished plants about one week later than plants of ‘Rosemary’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Rosemary’ differed in leaf color as leaves of plants of ‘Rosemary’ had rose red-colored centers with mottled light and dark green-colored borders.
    • 4. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Rosemary’ differed in leaf petiole color.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 15-cm containers in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse (30% light reduction) in Avon Park, Fla. and plants grown in ground beds under full sunlight in an outdoor nursery in Crewsville, Fla. The plants were grown under cultural practices typical of commercial shadehouse and outdoor nursery production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from about 29° C. to 35° C. (shadehouse) or 28° C. to 33° C. (outdoor nursery), night temperatures ranged from about 23° C. to 26° C. (shadehouse) or 22° C. to 25° C. (outdoor nursery) and light levels were about 8,000 foot-candles (shadehouse) or 10,000 to 12,000 foot-candles (outdoor nursery). Plants grown in the shadehouse were seven weeks old and plants grown in the outdoor nursery were eight months old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
