Abstract

A new cultivar of Zantedeschia aethiopica plant named ‘White Angel One’, characterized by its compact plant habit, its exhibits numerous stems and clumps for division, its broad leaves, its very broad spathes that are pure white in color with minimal fading with age, its good resistance to Erwinia caratovora, and its vigorous growth habit.

Description

Botanical classification: Zantedeschia aethiopica.
Cultivar designation: ‘White Angel One’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Zantedeschia aethiopica, and is hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘White Angel One’. ‘White Angel One’ represents a new herbaceous perennial grown for use as a landscape plant.
The new cultivar was derived from a controlled breeding program by the Inventor in Barcelona, Spain. The objective of the breeding program was to produce a new cultivar of Zantedeschia with large, pure white flowers. The Inventor made a cross in May of 2002 between unnamed proprietary plants in the Inventor's breeding program; reference no. GBCA001 as the female parent and reference no. CAAGUILA002 as the male parent. The Inventor selected ‘White Angel One’ in April of 2004 as a single unique plant amongst the seedlings that resulted from the above cross.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by tuber division in October of 2004 in Barcelona, Spain. Asexual propagation by tuber division has determined that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and 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 ‘White Angel One’ as a new and unique cultivar of Zantedeschia.
    • 1. ‘White Angel One’ exhibits a compact plant habit.
    • 2. ‘White Angel One’ exhibits numerous stems and shoots for division.
    • 3. ‘White Angel One’ exhibits broad leaves.
    • 4. ‘White Angel One’ exhibits very broad spathes that are pure white with minimal fading with age.
    • 5. ‘White Angel One’ has shown good resistance to Erwinia caratovora.
    • 6. ‘White Angel One’ exhibits a vigorous growth habit.
The female parent of ‘White Angel One’, GBCA001, differs from ‘White Angel One’ in having a taller plant height and spathes that creamy white in color. The male parent of ‘White Angel One’, CAAGUILA002, differs from ‘White Angel One’ in having a less vigorous growth habit, in producing less inflorescences, and in having spathes that are creamy white in color. ‘White Angel One’ can be most closely compared to the cultivars ‘Little Anna’ (not patented), and ‘Polaris’ (not patented. ‘Little Anna’ is similar to ‘White Angel One’ in producing numerous shoots and in having a wide spadix. ‘Little Anna’ differs from ‘White Angel One’ in having spathes that are creamy white and narrower and in having a shorter plant height and longer petioles. ‘Polaris’ is similar to ‘White Angel One’ in having good resistance to Erwinia caratovora and in its suitability for production in warm regions. ‘Polaris’ differs from ‘White Angel One’ in having spathes that are creamy white, in having a shorter production period, in being less compact, and in having leaf blades that are a more intense color of green.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying colored photograph illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Zantedeschia. The photographs was taken of a plant about 7 months in age as grown outdoors in a greenhouse in Barcelona, Spain.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of ‘White Angel One’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of a flower of ‘White Angel One’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of a leaf of ‘White Angel One’.
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 Zantedeschia.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following is a detailed description of 7 month-old plants of the new cultivar as grown in a greenhouse in 3-liter containers. Plant were grown under average day temperatures of 15° to 25° C. and average night temperatures of 4° to 10° 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.
