Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lavandula plant named ‘BKLVSTFPU’, characterized by its compact and broadly upright plant habit; freely branching growth habit; early and freely flowering habit; purple-colored flowers with violet-colored bracts arranged on terminal spikes; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Lavandula stoechas.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BKLVSTFPU’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Lavandula plant, botanically known as Lavandula stoechas, commonly referred to as Lavender and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘BKLVSTFPU’.
The new Lavandula plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Maasdijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact and early-flowering Lavandula plants with good performance and attractive plant form and flower coloration.
The new Lavandula plant originated from an open-pollination in July, 2012 of a proprietary selection of Lavandula stoechas identified as code number 4300112, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Lavandula stoechas as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lavandula plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in an outdoor nursery in Maasdijk, The Netherlands in July, 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new Lavandula plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Maasdijk, The Netherlands since September, 2013 has shown that the unique features of this new Lavandula plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Lavandula 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 the new Lavandula plant. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘BKLVSTFPU’ as a new and distinct Lavandula plant:
    • 1. Compact and broadly upright plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching growth habit.
    • 3. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Purple-colored flowers with violet-colored bracts arranged on terminal spikes.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Lavandula differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lavandula are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lavandula have broader inflorescences than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Lavandula and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have dark pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lavandula can be compared to plants of the Lavandula stoechas ‘Bee Happy’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,573. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Lavandula differ primarily from plants of ‘Bee Happy’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lavandula are more compact and shorter than plants of ‘Bee Happy’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lavandula and ‘Bee Happy’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Bee Happy’ have purple-colored flowers with white-colored bracts.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Lavandula 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 Lavandula plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘BKLVSTFPU’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of lower and upper surfaces of typical leaves, a typical flower bud and a typical flowering stem of ‘BKLVSTFPU’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and following detailed description were grown in 12-cm containers during the spring and early summer in a glass-covered greenhouse in Maasdijk, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Lavandula production. Plants were pinched one time and were 23 weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 22° C. and night temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 16° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
