Abstract
A new and distinct cuphea plant having red-purple colored flowers.
Description
Botanical classification: Cuphea hyssopifolia.
Varietal denomination: ‘Wescuflodia’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of cuphea plant known by the varietal name ‘Wescuflodia’. The new variety was discovered in June of 2015 in Worms, Germany as the result of a planned breeding program with the purposes of providing cuphea plants with improved growing characteristics and better garden performance. The new variety is the result of a mutation of a Cuphea hyssopifolia variety from the breeder's proprietary collected referred to as UNGCU15 (unpatented). The new variety is similar to UNGCU15 in flower color, but exhibits earlier development, a more compact habit, and larger flowers than UNGCU15. The first asexual reproduction of the new variety was conducted by cuttings in June of 2015 in Worms, Germany. ‘Wescuflodia’ has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
When ‘Wescuflodia’ is compared to Cuphea hyssopifolia ‘Wescuflomig’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 15/932,131, filed on Feb. 7, 2018), the varieties are similar in plant form, branching habit, and leaf color. However, the varieties differ in flower color (‘Wescuflomig’ has pale pink colored flowers) and size, as well as anther number.
The following traits distinguish ‘Wescuflodia’ as a new and distinct cultivar from other cuphea varieties known to the breeder:
-
- 1. Flower size;
- 2. Flowering period;
- 3. Flower color; and
- 4. Growth habit.
The accompanying photographic drawing taken at approximately 11 months of age illustrates the new variety, with the colors being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new variety at approximately 11 months of age. The data which defines these characteristics was collected indoors in Südlohn-Oeding, Germany under inflorescent light in the Winter. Plants of the new variety were grown in the Winter in Germany in a glass greenhouse under artificial light levels of 3,000 lx for 16 hours per day in 17.8 cm pots. Color references are primarily to the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
