Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Red Hot Poker plant named Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’ with long, gracefully-arching, strap-like, keeled, glaucous, gray-green foliage and numerous scapes beginning in mid-summer and repeating though early fall. Habit is densely-growing, winter-hardy and tolerant of heat. Numerous scapes with dense flowers of intense chartreuse-yellow buds and creamy flowers. The new plant is useful for landscaping as a specimen, en masse, or as a long-lasting cut flower.
Description
Botanical classification: Kniphofia hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Flashpoint’.
The first public disclosure of the claimed plant, in the form of a sale, was made by Walters Gardens, Inc. on May 14, 2018. Prior to that, on Dec. 1, 2017 the claimed plant was displayed with a photograph and brief sales promotion on the website of Walters Gardens, Inc., who obtained the plant and all information relating thereto, from the inventor. No plants of Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’ 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 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 Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’ developed under the direction of the inventor at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA in the summer of 2013. The new plant was the result of a single seedling selection from a cross of ‘Papaya Popsicle’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,915 as the female or seed parent and ‘Percy's Pride’ (not patented) as the male or pollen parent in Aug. 22, 2013. The plant passed initial evaluation in the summer of 2015 and was subsequently given the breeder code 13-8-21 prior to naming. Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’ has been successfully asexually propagated by division method since 2015 at the same wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich. and subsequently by shoot tip tissue culture, and both methods have been found to be stable and produce identical plants that maintain the unique characteristics of the original plant through successive generations.
Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’ differs from its parents as well as all other Kniphofia known to the applicant. The most similar known Kniphofia cultivars are the female parent ‘Papaya Popsicle’, ‘Solar Flare’ U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 16/350,525 and ‘Pineapple Popsicle’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,969. ‘Papaya Popsicle’ is much shorter in scape and foliage height with more yellow-orange flower coloration. ‘Pineapple Popsicle’ is smaller in scape height, foliage height and overall habit and has a deeper yellow flower buds and fewer flowers per inflorescence. ‘Solar Flare is slightly shorter in scape and foliage and the flower is more yellowish, and the flowers begin earlier in the summer. ‘Percy's Pride’ is taller with more light-yellow to lime-colored flowers and the flower heads are larger. ‘Sally's Comet’ has a deeper yellow flower with smaller flower heads.
Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’ differs from these above cultivars and all cultivars known to the inventor in that it has:
-
- 1. Gracefully arching, strap-like, keeled, gray-green foliage.
- 2. Rapidly growing, dense habit, winter-hardy, heat tolerant, rabbit and deer tolerant, moderate-sized clumps.
- 3. Numerous spikes of chartreuse-yellow buds that mature to a cream-color on medium height stems;
- 4. Flowering beginning mid-summer and repeating into early October in Michigan.
The photographs of Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’ 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, Kniphofia ‘Flashpoint’, 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 five-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.
