Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of ornamental onion plant named Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’ compact habit, glaucous, upright, stiff, strap-like, flattened, gray-green foliage with slight longitudinal twisting and numerous, tightly-clustered, dark dusty-purple flowers forming in globose umbels.
Description
Botanical classification: Allium hybrid (Linnaeus).
Variety denomination: ‘Lavender Bubbles’.
The first public disclosure of the claimed plant, in the form of a photograph and brief description on a website operated by Walters Gardens, Inc. on Feb. 1, 2018. The claimed plant was first sold on Sep. 24, 2018 by Walters Gardens, Inc., who obtained the plant and all information relating thereto, from the inventor. No plants of Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’ have been sold in this country or anywhere in the world, nor has any disclosure of the new plant been made, more than one year prior to the filing date of this application, and such sale or disclosure within one year was either derived directly or indirectly from the inventor.
The present invention relates to the new and distinct ornamental onion, Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’ was developed by the inventor at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA as the result of self-pollination of proprietary unreleased selection known as H9-09-01 (not patented) in August of 2011. Seeds from this pollination were collected in fall of 2011 and were sown later that same year. The plant was originally selected in the summer of 2013 and given the breeder code 11-1-1.
Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’ has been successfully asexually propagated by garden bulb division method since 2013 at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich. and found to be stable and produce identical plants that maintain the unique characteristics of the original plant through multiple generations.
Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’ differs from its parents as well as all other ornamental onion known to the applicant. The most similar known Allium cultivars are ‘Medusa’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,701, ‘Blue Eddy’ (not patented), Allium tanguticum ‘Summer Beauty’ (not patented), and ‘Millenium’ (not patented). ‘Blue Eddy’ has shorter and more twisted leaves, flowers and overall habit and smaller flower globes and lighter colored flowers. ‘Summer Beauty’ has less glaucous foliage, lighter flowers in larger umbels and produces no seed. ‘Millenium’ has lighter purple flowers beginning about three weeks earlier than the new plant, and also has darker green leaves. The female parent has more twisted foliage than the new plant with lighter purple flowers.
Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’ differs from these above cultivars and all unregistered cultivars known to the inventor in that it has:
-
- 1. Glaucous, upright, stiff, strap-like, flattened, gray-green foliage with slight longitudinal twisting;
- 2. Compact habit, drought tolerant, rabbit and deer resistant, medium-sized clumps;
- 3. Numerous, tightly-clustered, dark dusty-purple flowers forming dense globose umbel;
- 4. Strong stems hold flowers heads upright through flowering and seed production.
The photographs of the new plant demonstrate the overall appearance of the plant, including the unique traits. The colors are as accurate as reasonably possible with color reproductions. Ambient light spectrum, source and direction may cause the appearance of minor variation in color.
The following descriptions and color references are based on the 2015 edition of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where common dictionary terms are used. The new plant, Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’, has not been observed under all possible environments. The phenotype may vary slightly with different environmental conditions, such as temperature, light, fertility, moisture and maturity levels, but without any change in the genotype. The following observations and size descriptions are of a three-year-old plant in a trial garden of a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich. under full sun with supplemental water and fertilizer as needed.
