Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Alstroemeria plant named ‘Koncareply’, characterized by its compact and mounding plant habit; sturdy and strong plants; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; freely branching habit; numerous purple violet-colored flowers with darker-colored stripes; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Alstroemeria hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘KONCAREPLY’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Alstroemeria plant, botanically known as Alstroemeria hybrida, typically grown as a container-type garden Alstroemeria and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Koncareply’.
The new Alstroemeria plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Nieuwveen, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact container-type garden Alstroemeria plants that have an early and freely flowering habit with attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Alstroemeria plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Nieuwveen, The Netherlands in April, 2011 of a proprietary selection of Alstroemeria hybrida identified as code number 43573-3, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Alstroemeria hybrida identified as code number 43629-2, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Alstroemeria plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Nieuwveen, The Netherlands in September, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the new Alstroemeria plant by in vitro rhizogenesis in a controlled greenhouse environment in Nieuwveen, The Netherlands since June, 2014 has shown that the unique features of this new Alstroemeria plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Alstroemeria 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 ‘Koncareply’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Koncareply’ as a new and distinct Alstroemeria plant:
    • 1. Compact and mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Sturdy and strong plants.
    • 3. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
    • 4. Freely branching habit.
    • 5. Numerous purple violet-colored flowers with darker-colored stripes.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Alstroemeria differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Alstroemeria have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and the female parent selection differ in flower stripes as flowers of plants of the female parent selection have fewer stripes.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Alstroemeria differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Alstroemeria can be compared to plants of the Alstroemeria hybrida ‘Koncayuko’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,282. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Nieuwveen, The Netherlands, plants of the new Alstroemeria differ from plants of ‘Koncayuko’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Alstroemeria have larger and darker green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Koncayuko’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Alstroemeria flower earlier than plants of ‘Koncayuko’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Alstroemeria have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Koncayuko’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Alstroemeria and ‘Koncayuko’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Koncayuko’ have red purple-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Alstroemeria 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 Alstroemeria plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Koncareply’ grown in container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Koncareply’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants of the new Alstroemeria grown during the late spring in 19-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Nieuwveen, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial container-type Alstroemeria production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 6° C. to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from 6° C. to 20° C. Plants were 36 weeks old when the photographs and description were taken.
