Abstract
A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Cubic Frost’ is disclosed, characterized by concentric, geometric rosettes, comprised of many uplifted, slightly undulate, slightly tubular, lilac to lilac pink leaves. The new cultivar Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ exhibits robust growth, enabling shorter production intervals. Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ is freely offsetting, enhancing propagation intervals, as well as creating attractive clusters. Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ prolifically produces plantlets from leaf cuttings, further enhancing propagation in the commercial nursery. The new culitvar ‘Cubic Frost’ is freely flowering, producing a larger flower with an unusual shape. The new variety is an Echeveria, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Pachyphytum, Graptopetalum, Sedum, Crassula and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants or landscape plants. Currently, there is a growing use of Echeveria for artistic creations such as wedding bouquets, table centerpieces and other ornamental uses for social occasions.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Echeveria hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘CUBIC FROST’.
The new Echeveria cultivar is the product of a planned breeding program. The new variety originated from a cross pollination of the proprietary, unpatented, seed parent, Echeveria ‘Doppler’ with the pollen parent, an unpatented, proprietary variety of Echeveria referred to as ‘R-21’. The pollination was made during April of 2011 at a commercial greenhouse in Vista, Calif.
‘Cubic Frost’ was discovered by the inventor, Renee O'Connell, in September of 2011, in Vista, Calif. at a commercial greenhouse in Vista, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Cubic Frost’ was first performed in Vista, Calif., at a commercial greenhouse by vegetative cuttings in March of 2012. ‘Cubic Frost’ has since produced multiple generations and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘CUBIC FROST’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘CUBIC FROST’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘CUBIC FROST’ as a new and distinct Echeveria cultivar:
-
- 1. Exhibits a concentric, geometric rosette, comprised of many uplifted, slightly undulate, slightly tubular lilac to lilac pink leaves, a combination of characteristics not displayed by comparable Echeveria varieties.
- 2. Exhibits robust growth, enabling shorter production intervals, a characteristic not seen in many other comparable Echeveria varieties.
- 3. Freely offsetting, enhancing propagation, in comparison to many other Echeveria varieties.
- 4. Prolifically produces plantlets from leaf cuttings, a characteristic not found in many other Echeveria varieties.
- 5. Free flowering, and displays larger, unusually shaped flowers, not observed in many comparable Echeveria varieties.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CUBIC FROST’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Echeveria ‘Doppler’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘CUBIC FROST’ differ in the following;
-
- 1. Exhibit a lilac to pink lilac coloration, seed parent is mainly grey-blue with some pink.
- 2. Freely offsets, enhancing propagation and quickly forming attractive clusters, not observed in the seed parent.
- 3. Prolifically produces plantlets from leaf cuttings, further enhancing propagation, whereas the seed parent is far less prolific in producing plantlets from leaf cuttings.
- 4. Exhibits more disease resistance than the seed parent, in particular to the pathogen, Fusarium, a common Echeveria disease.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CUBIC FROST’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Echeveria ‘R-21’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘CUBIC FROST’ differs in the following;
-
- 1. More concentric, geometric rosette
- 2. Freely offsets, enhancing production and creating an attractive cluster, whereas the pollen parent offsets only occasionally.
- 3. Prolifically produces plantlets from leaf cuttings, whereas the pollen parent only occasionally produces a plantlet from a leaf cutting.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CUBIC FROST’ are comparable to the unpatented, commercial variety Graptoveria ‘Debbi’. The two varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘CUBIC FROST’ differs in the following:
-
- 1. Forms a more concentric, geometric rosette than Graptoveria ‘Debbi’, producing a more aesthetic rosette plant form.
- 2. Offset more profusely than Graptoveria ‘Debbi’, enhancing propagation, and producing a morphologically aesthetic cluster.
- 3. Produces larger, more unusually shaped flowers than does Graptoveria ‘Debbi’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CUBIC FROST’ can also be comparable to the unpatented commercial variety Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’. The two Echeveria varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘CUBIC FROST’ differs in the following:
-
- 1. Exhibit a very concentric, geometric rosette, as compared to the looser, longer-leaved rosette exhibited by Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’.
- 2. Displays a lilac coloration of the leaves; Echeveria ‘Topsy ‘Turvy’ has greyed-green foliage.
- 3. Freely offsets, forming attractive clusters at an early age, as compared to the Echeveria plant ‘Topsy Turvy’, which offsets occasionally, but not as freely, nor at as young an age.
- 4. Has a faster rate of growth than Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’, and that characteristic, combined with the free offsetting of the new cultivar ‘Cubic Frost’, enhances production intervals and propagation intervals, as compared with Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a freely offsetting plant of Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’, grown in a greenhouse in Vista, Calif.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
