Abstract
A new and distinct Echeveria×Pachyphytum cultivar named ‘Asante Sana’ which is characterized by large, thick foliage with a slight upwardly curved attitude, arranged in a compact rosette. The obovate to broad oblanceolate foliage is heavily pruinose and exhibits a white coloration with a soft blue hue. The new variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is Echeveria lilacina×Pachyphytum oviferum hybrid.
Variety denomination: The inventive variety of Echeveria×Pachyphytum disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘Asante Sana’.
Parentage: ‘Asante Sana’ is the result of a planned breeding program carried out at a commercial greenhouse in Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands. In the spring of 2011, the inventor performed the controlled intergeneric cross-pollination of the species Echeveria lilacina (unnamed), the seed parent, with the species Pachyphytum oviferum (unnamed), the pollen parent. In the summer of 2012, a seedling that exhibited potential commercial value was selected from all other progeny of the same cross. The seedling was given the reference code “13-0010” and allowed to grow to a mature size, for further evaluation to confirm the stability of the characteristics initially observed. In the summer of 2013, the claimed plant was selected for commercialized.
Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Asante Sana’, by way of rooting leaf cuttings, was first initiated in the spring of 2014 at the inventor's commercial greenhouse in Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands. Through six subsequent generations, the unique features of this cultivar have proven to be stable and true to type.
The cultivar ‘Asante Sana’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘Asante Sana’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Asante Sana’ as a new and distinct Echeveria×Pachyphytum cultivar:
-
- 1. ‘Asante Sana’ exhibits large, thick foliage with a slight upwardly curved attitude, arranged in a compact rosette; and
- 2. ‘Asante Sana’ exhibits obovate to broad oblanceolate foliage with an apiculate apex; and
- 3. ‘Asante Sana’ exhibits heavily pruinose foliage which gives the foliage a white coloration with a soft blue hue.
The following observations and measurements made in November of 2016 describe averages from a sample set of six specimens of 9 months old ‘Asante Sana’ plants grown in 8.5 cm nursery containers at commercial greenhouse in Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands. Plants were produced using conventional greenhouse production protocols for Echeveria which consisted of minimal irrigation and fertilizer applications, and chemical pest and disease control measures against mealy bug and Botrytis as required. Plants were grown under approximately 50 percent shade after propagation and later exposed to full sun once they began to mature. No photoperiodic treatments or artificial light was given to the plants.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, with younger plants. ‘Asante Sana’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may differ from the descriptions set forth herein with variations in environmental, climatic and cultural conditions. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 2015 (sixth edition).
A botanical description of ‘Asante Sana’ and a comparison with the parents is provided below.
