Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Portulaca plant named ‘LAZPRT1609’, characterized by its outwardly spreading to creeping growth habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; bright red and yellow-colored flowers; and excellent garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Portulaca umbraticola Kunth.
Cultivar denomination: ‘LAZPRT1609’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Portulaca plant, botanically known as Portulaca umbraticola Kunth, commonly known as Wingpod Purslane, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘LAZPRT1609’.
The new Portulaca plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Merano, South Tyrol, Italy. The objective of the breeding program is to create new vigorous and freely branching Portulaca plants with numerous unique and attractive flowers.
The new Portulaca plant is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of Portulaca umbraticola Kunth ‘Duna Red Flame’, not patented. The new Portulaca plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor on a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of ‘Duna Red Flame’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Merano, South Tyrol, Italy during the spring of 2014.
Asexual reproduction of the new Portulaca plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Merano, South Tyrol, Italy since the spring of 2014, has shown that the unique features of this new Portulaca plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Portulaca 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 ‘LAZPRT1609’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘LAZPRT1609’ as a new and distinct Portulaca plant:
-
- 1. Outwardly spreading to creeping growth habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Bright red and yellow-colored flowers.
- 6. Excellent garden performance.
Plants of the new Portulaca can be compared to plants of the mutation parent, ‘Duna Red Flame’. Plants of the new Portulaca differ primarily from plants of ‘Duna Red Flame’ in flower color as plants of ‘Duna Red Flame’ have a less intense (lower contrast) flower color pattern that is unstable. In addition, plants of the new Portulaca are more freely branching than plants of ‘Duna Red Flame’.
Plants of the new Portulaca can be compared to plants of Portulaca oleracea ‘Duet Rose Improved’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,152), not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Portulaca differ primarily from plants of ‘Duet Rose Improved’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Portulaca are more compact than plants of ‘Duet Rose Improved’.
- 2. Plants of the new Portulaca are more creeping than and not as upright as plants of ‘Duet Rose Improved’.
- 3. Plants of the new Portulaca have larger flowers than plants of ‘Duet Rose Improved’.
- 4. Plants of the new Portulaca and ‘Duet Rose Improved’ differ in petal color as plants of ‘Duet Rose Improved’ have yellow-colored petals with purple-colored centers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Portulaca 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 Portulaca plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘LAZPRT1609’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘LAZPRT1609’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 13-cm containers during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery in Merano, South Tyrol, Italy and under cultural practices typical of commercial Portulaca production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 13.8° C. to 28.6° C. and light levels ranged from 60 to 70 klux. Plants were four months old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
