Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant named ‘G14420’, characterized by its compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy appearance; freely flowering habit; large single-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Argyranthemum frutescens.
Cultivar denomination: ‘G14420’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant, botanically known as Argyranthemum frutescens and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘G14420’.
The objective of the breeding program is to create new Argyranthemum plants with attractive ray and disc floret colors, sterility and good garden performance.
The new Argyranthemum plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Argyranthemum frutescens ‘Butterfly’, not patented. The new Argyranthemum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of ‘Butterfly’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Bellefonte, Pa. in July, 2014.
Asexual reproduction of the new Argyranthemum plant by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Bellefonte, Pa. on Nov. 17, 2014. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Argyranthemum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Argyranthemum 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, daylength 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 the new Argyranthemum plant. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘G14420’ as a new and distinct Argyranthemum plant:
    • 1. Compact, upright and uniformly mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy appearance.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Large single-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum differ from plants of the mutation parent, ‘Butterfly’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum have smaller and more dissected leaves than plants of ‘Butterfly’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Argyranthemum have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Butterfly’.
    • 3. Ray florets of the new Argyranthemum are white in color whereas ray florets of plants of ‘Butterfly’ are yellow in color.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum can be compared to plants of Argyranthemum frutescens ‘Vanilla’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,642. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Argyranthemum differ primarily from plants of ‘Vanilla’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Vanilla’.
    • 2. Ray florets of the new Argyranthemum are white in color whereas ray florets of plants of ‘Vanilla’ are initially yellow in color and become creamy white in color with development.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum can also be compared to plants of Argyranthemum frutescens ‘Bonmadwitim’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,711. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Argyranthemum differ primarily from plants of ‘Bonmadwitim’ in ratio of ray floret length to disc diameter as inflorescences of plants of ‘Bonmadwitim’ have ray florets that are approximately equal in length to the diameter of the disc whereas inflorescences of plants of the new Argyranthemum have ray florets that are approximately 1.5 times in length to the diameter of the disc.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Argyranthemum 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 Argyranthemum plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘G14420’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘G14420’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the late summer 10-cm containers in an acrylic-covered greenhouse in Carleton, Mich. and under cultural practices typical of commercial potted Argyranthemum production.
