Abstract
A new and distinct Penstemon plant is characterized by medium-size, red-pink flowers with white throats in dense clusters; long bloom time; good rebloom; a compact, upright, well-branched habit with multiple crown from the base; clean-looking, deep-green, attractive foliage; and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Penstemon hybrid.
Variety designation: ‘TNPENHM’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Penstemon plant given the name ‘TNPENHM’. Penstemon is in the family Scrophulariaceae. Penstemon ‘TNPENHM’ originated from open-pollinated seeds of Penstemon ‘165-3’, an unnamed, unpatented, proprietary plant. It was part of a controlled breeding program to create a compact, upright, medium- to small-size, reblooming, and hardy series. This seedling was selected for its medium-size red-pink flowers with white throats; flowers in dense clusters; long bloom time; good rebloom; compact, upright, well-branched habit with multiple crowns from the base; vigor; and clean, attractive look. It is an ideal plant for a sunny border in full sun.
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.
Penstemon ‘TNPENHM’ is uniquely distinguished by its:
-
- 1. medium-size red-pink flowers with white throats in dense clusters,
- 2. long bloom time,
- 3. good rebloom,
- 4. compact, upright, well-branched habit with multiple crowns from the base,
- 5. clean-looking, deep-green, attractive foliage, and
- 6. excellent vigor.
Compared to the seed parent, Penstemon ‘165-3’, the new plant has red-pink flowers, rather than hot pink, and is more upright.
Compared to Penstemon x mexicali ‘P008S’, an unpatented plant, the new plant has larger and more numerous flowers that are red-pink with white throats, rather than purple-pink with white throats.
Compared to Penstemon ‘Boysenberry Taffy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,361), the new plant has a shorter habit; skinnier leaves; pinker flowers, rather than red-purple; and a more narrow-upright habit.
Compared to Penstemon ‘Cha Cha Hot Pink’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 26,699), the new plant has a shorter habit; narrower leaves; a narrow-upright habit, rather than wide and mound-like; and more pronounced white throats.
Trade Designation: HARLEQUIN™ Magenta.
The new variety has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (cuttings and micropropagation). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by cuttings and micropropagation using terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The following is a detailed description of the new Penstemon plant based on observations of 2-year-old specimens grown outside in a trial field in full sun in Canby, Oreg. in October. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95° F. in August to an average of 32° F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 5th edition, 2007.
