Abstract
A new cultivar of hybrid Heuchera named ‘Magma’ that is characterized by its unique conspicuous leaves that are red in color, its leaves that are very large in size and its vigorous and healthy growth habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Heuchera hybrid.
Cultivar designation: ‘Magma’.
This application is co-pending with a U.S. Plant Patent Applications filed for a plant derived from the same breeding program that are entitled Heuchera Plant Named ‘Carmencita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,431).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera of hybrid origin, botanically known as a Heuchera and is hereinafter referred to by its cultivar name ‘Magma’.
The new cultivar was discovered by the Inventor in Hantay, France, as a chance seedling amongst many different Heuchera varieties in a trial plot in April of 2013. The trial plot contained hundreds of cultivars and proprietary seedlings of Heuchera from the Inventor's breeding program. The parentage of ‘Magma’ is therefore unknown. The objectives of the breeding program were to select cultivars that were floriferous with distinct foliage coloration.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished under direction of the Inventor by tissue culture initiated from meristem tissue in Rijswijk, The Netherlands in June of 2015. Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by division and tissue culture has shown that the unique features are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Magma’ as a new and unique cultivar of Heuchera.
-
- 1. ‘Magma’ exhibits unique conspicuous leaves that are red in color.
- 2. ‘Magma’ exhibits leaves that are very large in size.
- 3. ‘Magma’ exhibits a vigorous and healthy growth habit.
‘Magma’ can be most closely compared to the cultivars ‘Carmencita’ and ‘Beaujolais’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,577). ‘Carmencita’ is similar to ‘Magma’ in spring leaf coloration. ‘Carmencita’ differs from ‘Magma’ in having a less vigorous plant habit, in having foliage that is redder in color in the summer and in having leaves that are smaller in size. ‘Beaujolais’ is similar to ‘Magma’ in leaf size and flowering habit. ‘Beaujolais’ differs from ‘Magma’ in having less intense and less red foliage coloration and in having flowers that are less white in color.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Heuchera. The photographs were taken of a plant two years in age as grown outdoors in a 15-liter container in Boskoop, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of the plant habit of ‘Magma’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the inflorescences of ‘Magma’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of a leaf of ‘Magma’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the digital photography techniques available, the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Heuchera.
The following is a detailed description of 2 year old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in 15-liter containers in Hantay, France. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2007 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
