Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Sutulim’, characterized by its upright and mounding plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; white-colored flowers with yellow green-colored venation and centers; resistance to mildew; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUTULIM’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sutulim’.
The new Petunia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Dresden, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new uniform Petunia plants with freely branching and flowering habit, attractive flower coloration and resistance to mildew.
The new Petunia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during the summer of 2008 of two unnamed proprietary selections of Petunia×hybrida. The new Petunia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Dresden, Germany during the summer of 2009.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Dresden, Germany since the summer of 2009, has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Petunia have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural conditions. 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 ‘Sutulim’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sutulim’ as a new and distinct Petunia plant:
    • 1. Upright and mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 5. White-colored flowers with yellow green-colored venation and centers.
    • 6. Resistance to mildew.
    • 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the parent selections. Plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in plant uniformity, flowering habit and flower color.
Plants of the new Petunia can also be compared to plants of the Petunia ‘Kerveryello’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dresden, Germany, plants of the new Petunia and ‘Kerveryello’ differed primarily in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more freely branching than plants of ‘Kerveryello’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia flowered earlier than plants of ‘Kerveryello’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia had slightly smaller flowers than plants of ‘Kerveryello’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Kerveryello’ differed slightly in flower color.
    • 5. Plants of the new Petunia were resistant to mildew whereas plants of ‘Kerveryello’ were susceptible to mildew.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Petunia plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. 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 Petunia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sutulim’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Sutulim’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the spring in 13-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Dresden, Germany and under cultural practices typical of commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 18° C., night temperatures averaged 16° C. and light levels ranged from 15 to 90 klux. Plants were pinched two times and were four months old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
