Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Sunmomoheart’, characterized by its upright and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; flowers that are white in color with pink-colored heart-shaped pattern; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUNMOMOHEART’.
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 ‘Sunmomoheart’.
The new Petunia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new vigorous and mounding Petunia plants with numerous unique and attractive flowers.
The new Petunia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in September, 2012 in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan of a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code designation PY-293-1, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code designation PY-293-2, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. 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 greenhouse environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in October, 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since November, 2013 has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
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 ‘Sunmomoheart’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunmomoheart’ as a new and distinct Petunia plant:
-
- 1. Upright and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Long flowering period.
- 6. Flowers that are white in color with pink-colored heart-shaped pattern.
- 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 flower color pattern as plants of the parent selections have flowers with a star-shaped pattern. In addition, plants of the male parent selection have white and lighter pink-colored flowers than plants of the new Petunia.
Plants of the new Petunia can also be compared to plants of the Petunia×hybrida ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/998,606. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Petunia and ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’ differ primarily in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more mounding than and not as creeping as plants of ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia have shorter leaves with shorter petioles than plants of ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’ differ in flower color pattern as plants of ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’ have flowers with a star-shaped pattern.
- 4. Plants of the new Petunia have smaller sepals than plants of ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’.
- 5. Plants of the new Petunia had shorter peduncles than plants of ‘Daiichi-MP22-253-2’.
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 at the top of the sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunmomoheart’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunmomoheart’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the late summer in 15-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and under cultural practices typical of commercial Petunia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 23° C. and night temperatures averaged 13° C. Plants were six months old when the photographs and 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.
