Abstract

A new cultivar of hybrid Salvia, ‘Blue Note’ that is characterized by its compact plant habit, its fragrant deep blue-purple flower on purple tinged flowering stems, and its long flowering period.

Description

Botanical classification: Salvia hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Blue Note’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Salvia of hybrid origin and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Blue Note’. ‘Blue Note’ is an herbaceous perennial grown for landscape use.
The new Salvia resulted from a controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Henansal, France. The Inventor made crosses in 2008 between unnamed proprietary plants of interspecific hybrid origin (Salvia chamaedryoides×Salvia lycoides) in the Inventor's breeding program as both the female and male parents. The characteristics of the parents are unknown as seeds where pooled and sown from several crosses. ‘Blue Note’ was selected as a single unique plant in 2008 from the resulting seedlings of the above crosses.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by vegetative stem cuttings in 2009 in Henansal, France. Asexual propagation by vegetative stem cuttings has determined that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Blue Note’ as a unique cultivar of Salvia.
    • 1. ‘Blue Note’ exhibits a compact plant habit.
    • 2. ‘Blue Note’ exhibits fragrant deep blue-purple flower on purple tinged flowering stems.
    • 3. ‘Blue Note’ exhibits a long flowering period; blooming from spring to first frost in France.
‘Blue Note’ can be most closely compared to plants of the species Salvia chamaedryoïdes and Salvia lycioïdes. Plants of Salvia chamaedryoïdes differ from ‘Blue Note’ in having a less vigorous growth habit and in having fewer flowers that are lighter in color. Plants of Salvia lycioïdes differ from ‘Blue Note’ in having leaves that are less round in shape and in having flowers that are less blue in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of a one year-old plant of the new Salvia as grown in a greenhouse in a 15-cm container in Henansal, France.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of ‘Blue Note’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of flowers of ‘Blue Note’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Blue Note’. The colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describe the colors of the new Salvia.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of one year-old plants of ‘Blue Note’ as grown in a greenhouse in 15-cm containers in Henansal, France. Plants were grown under average day temperatures ranging from +14° to +30° C. and average night temperatures of +8° to +18° C. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2007 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
