Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Red Hot Poker plant named Kniphofia ‘Lucky Lemons’ with long, gracefully-arching, strap-like, keeled, glaucous, gray-green foliage and numerous spikes. Habit is densely growing, winter-hardy, tolerant of heat, deer and rabbits. Numerous scapes of green buds that lighten to pastel-yellow before opening to creamy-yellow flowers on tall scapes beginning in mid-July and repeating for five weeks. The new plant is useful for landscaping as a specimen, en masse, or as a long-lasting cut flower.
Description
Botanical classification: Kniphofia hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Lucky Lemons’.
The first public disclosure of the claimed plant, in the form of a photograph and brief description was on a website operated by Walters Gardens, Inc. on Feb. 1, 2018. After that, on Jun. 4, 2018 the claimed plant was sold by Walters Gardens, Inc., who obtained the plant and all information relating thereto, from the inventor. No plants of Kniphofia ‘Lucky Lemons’ 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 Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia ‘Lucky Lemons’ developed under the direction of the inventor at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA on Aug. 22, 2013 and harvested in the fall of 2013. The new plant was a single seedling selection resulting from a cross of ‘Papaya Popsicle’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,915 as the female parent or seed parent and ‘Sally's Comet’ (not patented) as the male parent. The plant passed initial evaluation in the summer of 2015 and was subsequently given the breeder code 13-8-20 prior to naming. Kniphofia ‘Lucky Lemons’ 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 multiple generations.
Kniphofia ‘Lucky Lemons’ 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’, the male parent ‘Sally's Comet’ (not patented), ‘Banana Popsicle’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,617, ‘Pineapple Popsicle’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,969, ‘Poco Yellow’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,616, ‘Solar Flare’ U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 16/350,525 and ‘Flashpoint’ U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 16/350,526. ‘Papaya Popsicle’ is slightly shorter in habit and scape height and more reddish in flower color and the new plant is more persistent in the Michigan winter landscape. ‘Sally's Comet’ is slightly shorter in flower scape and foliage height and the flower color is a slightly deep yellow. ‘Banana Popsicle’ is significantly shorter in habit and flower scapes, fewer flowers per stem and the flowers have less green and more yellow in the young buds and deeper gold in the flower color. ‘Pineapple Popsicle’ is shorter in habit with flower stems lower than the top of the leaves, the flowers are smaller and the tepal color fades to a lighter color with age. ‘Poco Yellow’ is much smaller in scape height, foliage height and overall habit and has a lighter yellow flower color with less green coloration in the young buds. ‘Solar Flare’ has a deeper yellow flower color and is slightly shorter in habit. ‘Flashpoint’ has a slightly taller habit, and the flower buds are more chartreuse and open more chartreuse-cream.
Kniphofia ‘Lucky Lemons’ 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, large-sized clumps.
- 3. Numerous spikes of green buds that lighten to pastel-yellow before opening to creamy yellow flowers on tall stems;
- 4. Flowering in mid-July and repeating for five weeks in Michigan.
The photographs of Kniphofia ‘Lucky Lemons’ 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 ‘Lucky Lemons’, 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.
