Abstract
An Abutilon plant named ‘RutAbut2’ has prolific quantities of large yellow flowers, a compact and more prostrate growth habit, shorter internodes, and has an extended duration of flowering.
Description
This invention was made, in part, with U.S. Government support on behalf of U.S. Department of Agriculture, Hatch Act Grant. The U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention.
Genus and species: Abutilon×hybridum.
Variety denomination: The new Abutilon×hybridum claimed is of the cultivar denominated ‘RutAbut2’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Abutilon×hybridium, hereinafter referred to by the varietal denomination ‘RutAbut2’.
Pedigree and history: The original ‘RutAbut2’ plant is a product of a cross made between Abutilon ‘Fairy Coral Red’ (unpatented, female parent) and Abutilon ‘Halo’ (unpatented, male parent) in 2007 under the direction of David Knauft and Suzzanne Tate. Cuttings from the original ‘RutAbut2’ plant were first taken in Watkinsville, Ga., in March of 2008 and were planted in Watkinsville, Ga. in May of 2008 to produce asexually propagated plants of the new ‘RutAbut2’ variety. Additional plants of the ‘RutAbut2’ variety, asexually propagated by cuttings, were transferred to a location in Bonsall, Calif. in June of 2012 for further evaluation. ‘RutAbut2’ has been evaluated through trials at locations in Athens, Ga. from 2009 to 2013; in Tifton, Ga. from 2009 to 2012, and Bonsall, Calif. from 2012 to 2013.
‘RutAbut2’ has been cold hardy outside in Tifton, Ga. in unprotected containers sitting above ground. Flowering occurs on ‘RutAbut2’ from mid-April until hard frost in Athens, Ga., whereas in contrast most selections of Abutilon stop flowering in heat of summer.
The Inventors would expect the cultivar to be used commercially as a perennial in USDA zones 8b-11. ‘RutAbut2’ can be used as a flowering annual in colder parts of the United States. Production is expected in the southeastern and southwestern United States. ‘RutAbut2’ should perform well in other countries with similar climates. ‘RutAbut2’ can be used in hanging baskets.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Abutilon cultivar named ‘RutAbut2’. In combination, these traits set ‘RutAbut2’ apart from all other existing varieties of Abutilon known to the Inventors. Asexual propagation by cuttings has proven that these characteristics are firmly fixed in succeeding asexually propagated generations.
-
- 1. Extended duration of flowering.
- 2. Improved, more compact habit.
- 3. Shorter internodes.
- 4. More prostrate growth.
- 5. Prolific.
- 6. Larger yellow flowers.
Plants of the new Abutilon can be compared to ‘Canary Bird’ (unpatented) in the industry. ‘RutAbut2’ is an improvement over the industry standard because it has increased flowering in comparison to ‘Canary Bird’.
Compared to its female parent ‘Fairy Coral Red’, ‘RutAbut2’ has larger flowers and foliage.
Compared to its male parent ‘Halo’, ‘RutAbut2’ has a less dark calyx and petals that are not as yellow.

The above varieties are all unpatented. The A08 prefix designated clones and ‘FCR’ designation are experimental variety designations that may be changed at a later time. An application for ‘RutAbut1’ was filed on Apr. 6, 2015, and assigned U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 14/545,198.
The accompanying colored photographic illustrations show the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new ‘RutAbut2’ cultivar. The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized.
The photograph labeled FIG. 1 depicts ‘RutAbut2’.
The photograph labeled FIG. 2 depicts a flower from the plant of the new variety.
The following is a detailed description of the Abutilon cultivar named ‘RutAbut2’. Data was collected in Tifton, Ga. from 12 month old plants grown from cuttings and growing outdoors in unprotected containers sitting above ground. ‘RutAbut2’ has not been tested under all possible conditions hence, phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental conditions without any variance in genotype.
Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small letter signify that the name of that color, as used in common speech, is aptly descriptive. Color names beginning with a capital letter designate values based upon The R.H.S. Colour Chart, 5th edition published by The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.), London, England.
