Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Dopetsunye’, characterized by its upright and mounding to semi-trailing plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; flowers that are bright yellow in color; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: (Petunia x hybrida) X Calibrachoa sp.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DOPETSUNYE’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as (Petunia x hybrida) X Calibrachoa sp. and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Dopetsunye’.
The new Petunia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Encinitas, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new moderately vigorous and mounding Petunia plants with numerous attractive flowers.
The new Petunia plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of a proprietary selection of (Petunia x hybrida) X Calibrachoa sp. identified as code number TT-0809, not patented. The new Petunia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled greenhouse environment in Encinitas, Calif. on Apr. 20, 2016.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Encinitas, Calif. since Jun. 1, 2016 has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Petunia 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 ‘Dopetsunye’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dopetsunye’ as a new and distinct Petunia plant:
    • 1. Upright and mounding to semi-trailing plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Flowers that are bright yellow in color.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of the parent selection in flower color as plants of the parent selection have lighter yellow-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of Petunia sensu X Calibrachoa sp. ‘Dancalipet’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,063. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Dancalipet’ differ primarily in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more vigorous than plants of ‘Dancalipet’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia have slightly larger flowers than plants of ‘Dancalipet’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Dancalipet’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Dancalipet’ have red purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia can also be compared to plants of (Petunia x hybrida) X Calibrachoa sp. ‘Duesunblu’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,156. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Duesunblu’ differ primarily in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more mounding than and not as trailing as plants of ‘Duesunblu’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘Duesunblu’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Duesunblu’ have dark violet-colored flowers with dark purple-colored centers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Petunia 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 Petunia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Dopetsunye’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Dopetsunye’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the early spring in 15-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Encinitas, Calif. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Petunia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 25° C., night temperatures averaged 20° C. and light levels ranged from 4,000 lux to 4,500 lux. Plants were twelve weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
