Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant named ‘Allblommos’, characterized by its broadly upright plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit and high fruit density; glossy light red-colored fruits; and suitability as a garden or container plant.

Description

Botanical designation: Hypericum hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ALLBLOMMOS’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant, botanically known as Hypericum hybrida, typically grown as garden or container plant and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Allblommos’.
The new Hypericum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Cuijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Hypericum plants with numerous attractive glossy fruits.
The new Hypericum plant originated from an open-pollination in September, 2011 in Cuijk, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Hypericum hybrida identified as code number 9-39-62, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with an unknown selection of Hypericum hybrida as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Hypericum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Cuijk, The Netherlands in September, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hypericum plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Cuijk, The Netherlands since September, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Hypericum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Hypericum 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 ‘Allblommos’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Allblommos’ as a new and distinct Hypericum plant:
    • 1. Broadly upright plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit and high fruit density.
    • 5. Glossy light red-colored fruits.
    • 6. Suitable as a garden or container plant.
Plants of the new Hypericum differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hypericum and the female parent selection differ in fruit color as fruits of the female parent selection are light pink in color.
    • 2. Fruits of plants of the new Hypericum are more elliptic in shape and not as rounded as fruits of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Hypericum can be compared to plants of the Hypericum hybrida ‘Allyoko’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Cuijk, The Netherlands, plants of the new Hypericum differ primarily from plants of ‘Allyoko’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Leaves of plants of the new Hypericum are not as dark in color as leaves of plants of ‘Allyoko’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hypericum and ‘Allyoko’ differ in fruit color as fruits of ‘Allyoko’ are salmon in color.
    • 3. Fruits of plants of the new Hypericum are not as broad as fruits of plants of ‘Allyoko’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hypericum 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 actual colors of the new Hypericum plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a flowering plant of ‘Allblommos’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of ‘Allblommos’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers, developing fruits and developed fruits of ‘Allblommos’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown in September in an outdoor nursery in Rijswijk, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Hypericum production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14° C. to 26° C. and night temperatures ranged from 4° C. to 16° C. Plants were seven months old when the photographs and description were taken.
