Abstract

Description
Botanical designation: Veronica spicata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘AGRIVEDAPI’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Veronica plant, botanically known as Veronica spicata and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Agrivedapi’.
The new Veronica plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new compact and freely branching Veronica plants with early and freely flowering habit.
The new Veronica plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in June 2010 in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, of a proprietary selection of Veronica spicata identified as code number 09-0113-001, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Veronica spicata identified as code number 207111-001, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Veronica plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in April, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Veronica plant by top cuttings in a controlled environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since December, 2011 has shown that the unique features of this new Veronica plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Veronica have not been observed under all possible combinations of 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 ‘Agrivedapi’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Agrivedapi’ as a new and distinct Veronica plant:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Early and freely flowering habit.
- 4. Vernalization treatments are not required for flower initiation and development.
- 5. Dense inflorescences with numerous dark pink-colored flowers.
- 6. Good container performance.
Plants of the new Veronica differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Veronica are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Veronica are darker pink in color than flowers of plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Veronica differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Veronica are more freely flowering than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Veronica are less susceptible to Powdery Mildew than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Veronica can be compared to plants of Veronica spicata ‘Agriveropink’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,178. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, plants of the new Veronica differed primarily from plants of ‘Agriveropink’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Flowers of plants of the new Veronica were darker pink in color than flowers of plants of ‘Agriveropink’.
- 2. Plants of the new Veronica was less susceptible to Powdery Mildew than plants of ‘Agriveropink’.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the Veronica plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Veronica plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Agrivedapi’ grown in a container.
Plants used for the aforementioned photograph and following description were grown in 12-cm containers during the winter and spring in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Kwakel, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Veronica production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 17° C. Plants were pinched one week after planting and were 14 weeks old when the photograph and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
