Description
Botanical designation: Echinacea hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘APECSSIMA’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant, botanically known as Echinacea hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Apecssima’.
The new Echinacea plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Andijk and Hazerswoude-Dorp, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new vigorous Echinacea plants with unique and attractive ray floret coloration.
The new Echinacea plant originated from an open-pollination in July, 2013 in Andijk, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Echinacea hybrida identified as code number 009-12-K083-01, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Echinacea hybrida as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Echinacea plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Hazerswoude-Dorp, The Netherlands in August, 2014.
Asexual reproduction of the new Echinacea plant by tissue culture in a controlled environment in Andijk, The Netherlands since 2015 has shown that the unique features of this new Echinacea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Echinacea have 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 ‘Apecssima’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Apecssima’ as a new and distinct Echinacea plant:
-
- 1. Upright and relatively compact plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Strong flowering stems.
- 5. Numerous large single-type inflorescences with red purple-colored ray florets and dark orange-colored receptacle spines.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Echinacea differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Echinacea are not as vigorous as plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Echinacea and the female parent selection differ in ray floret color as plants of the female parent selection have pink-colored ray florets.
- 3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Echinacea have more ray florets than inflorescences of plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of Echinacea spp. ‘Glowing Dream’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,329. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Echinacea differ primarily from plants of ‘Glowing Dream’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Echinacea and ‘Glowing Dream’ differ in stem color as plants of ‘Glowing Dream’ have darker green-colored stems.
- 2. Plants of the new Echinacea have broader leaves than plants of ‘Glowing Dream’.
- 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Echinacea are more horizontal than and not as drooping as ray florets of plants of ‘Glowing Dream’.
- 4. Plants of the new Echinacea and ‘Glowing Dream’ differ in ray floret color as plants of ‘Glowing Dream’ have deep coral pink-colored ray florets.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Echinacea 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 Echinacea plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Apecssima’ grown in a container.
The photographs on the second sheet are close-up views of typical inflorescences (upper photograph) and typical leaves (lower photograph) of ‘Apecssima’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the summer in 17-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Mijdrecht, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typically used in commercial Echinacea production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from 8° C. to 18° C. Plants were pinched eight weeks after planting and 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.
