Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Penstemon plant named ‘Balmibepro’, characterized by its deep purplish-red and creamy-white colored flowers, blooming from late spring through late summer, medium green-colored foliage, and moderately vigorous, upright growth habit, is disclosed.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Penstemon hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Balmibepro’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Penstemon plant botanically known as Penstemon hybrid and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balmibepro’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Venhuizen, the Netherlands during August 2013. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Penstemon cultivars having large flowers and a long flowering season.
The new Penstemon cultivar is the result of cross-pollination. The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Penstemon hybrid breeding selection coded D2330-1, not patented, characterized by its red and creamy-white colored flowers of unilateral arrangement, medium green-colored foliage, and moderately vigorous, upright growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Penstemon hybrid breeding selection coded D2316-2, not patented, characterized by its red-colored flowers, medium green-colored foliage, and moderately vigorous, upright growth habit. The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during July 2014 in a controlled environment in Venhuizen, the Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since July 2014 in Venhuizen, the Netherlands and Elburn, Ill. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Balmibepro’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Penstemon plant:
-
- 1. Deep purplish-red and creamy-white colored flowers;
- 2. Medium green-colored foliage; and
- 3. Moderately vigorous, upright growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in arrangement of flowers on rachis. Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the male parent primarily in flower color.
Of the many commercially available Penstemon cultivars, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is ‘Cha Cha Cherry’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,163. However, in comparison, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Cha Cha Cherry’ in at least the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar have larger flowers than plants of ‘Cha Cha Cherry’; and
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar have a corolla tube color different from plants of ‘Cha Cha Cherry’.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Balmibepro’. The plants were approximately 17 weeks old and grown in 1.7 gallon containers. Plants were finished outdoors for 7 weeks in West Chicago, Ill. Plants were given two pinches prior to transplant.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2015 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined in July 2016 under natural light conditions in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe plants produced from cuttings from stock plants and grown under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown utilizing a soilless growth medium in 1.7 gallon containers for approximately 17 weeks. Plants were given two pinches prior to transplant. For approximately 8 weeks after transplant, greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 60° F. (15.6° C.) during the day and approximately 55° F. (12.8° C.) during the night. For the final 7 weeks, plants were grown outside in West Chicago, Ill. No supplemental lighting was provided. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plants.
