Abstract
A calla lily plant particularly distinguished by red spathes, light-medium maculation of the leaves that is visible from both sides and producing 4 to 6 inflorescences per 3-cm tuber is described.
Description
Genus and species: Zantedeschia spp.
Variety denomination: ‘Cardinal BLZ’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of calla lily, botanically known as Zantedeschia spp., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Cardinal BLZ’. The new cultivar was asexually reproduced by tissue culture resulting from the cross of the female parent an unnamed, unpatented Zantedeschia variety having red-pink spathes and the male parent an unnamed, unpatented Zantedeschia variety having red spathes. ‘Cardinal BLZ’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new calla lily plants with red spathes.
The new cultivar was created in Tauranga, New Zealand and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by tissue culture in Bangalore, India over a two year period. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
‘Cardinal BLZ’ has not been made publicly available anywhere in the world more than one year prior to the filing date of this application.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Tauranga, New Zealand.
-
- 1. Red spathes
- 2. Light to medium maculation of the leaves that is visible from both sides; and
- 3. Produces 4 to 6 inflorescences per 3-cm tuber.
This new calla lily plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show the plant habit, mature inflorescence and foliage of the plant. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs are of a plant approximately 8 weeks old, after planting in optimum conditions.
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Cardinal BLZ’. The data that define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in New Zealand. The plant history was taken on plants of two-year-old tubers based on a 3-cm diameter tuber under New Zealand summer conditions. Color references are primarily to the 1995 edition of The Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.).
