Abstract
‘15516 GR’ is a new and distinct hardy herbaceous Hibiscus hybrid with novel characteristics that include upright branched stems, numerous, outward-facing, flowers that are between dark red and dark purplish red with a dark red center eye, a prolonged blooming season, and cordate leaves.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Hibiscus hybrid (L.).
Cultivar denomination: ‘15516 GR’.
The invention relates to the new and distinct Hibiscus plant ‘15516 GR’. ‘15516 GR’ was generated from a cross performed on Jun. 22, 2014 near Vernon, Tex. between ‘11490-5’ (pod parent, unpatented) and ‘13028-2’ (pollen parent, unpatented). The pedigrees of each parent reflect a complex mixture of Hibiscus species. The pedigree of the pod parent includes H. mocheutos and H. coccineus. The pedigree of the pollen parent includes H. mocheutos, H. coccineus, H. militaris, and H. dasycalyx. The seed from this cross was harvested on Jul. 30, 2014 and the ‘15516 GR’ seedling was selected in the summer of 2015. ‘15516 GR’ was first asexually propagated near Vernon, Tex. in 2016 by stem tip cuttings. The resulting as well as subsequent asexually propagated plants have been stable and true to type throughout successive generations.
‘15516 GR’ differs from its parents and all other known hardy herbaceous Hibiscus plants. The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of ‘15516 GR’: (1) it is a hardy perennial with a relatively compact growth habit; (2) it blooms profusely over a prolonged season; and (3) its flowers exhibit a background that is between dark red (RHS 59A) and dark purplish red (RHS 59B) and a center eye that is between dark red (RHS 187A) and dark red (RHS 187B).
‘15516 GR’ plants can be readily and unambiguously distinguished from those of its parents. ‘15516 GR’ plants exhibit flowers that are between dark red (RHS 59A) and dark purplish red (RHS 59B) that have an average diameter of 22 cm and cordate leaves. Whereas, ‘11490-5’ plants (pod parent) exhibit vivid red (RHS 45A) flowers that have an average diameter of 18 cm and lobed leaves; and ‘13028-2’ plants (pollen parent) exhibit deep purplish red (RHS 187D) flowers that have an average diameter of 12.5 cm and hastate leaves.
‘Heartthrob’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,760) is the Hibiscus plant that exhibits flowers that are colored most similarly to those of ‘15516 GR’. Nonetheless, plants of ‘15516 GR’ and ‘Heartthrob’ can also be readily and unambiguously distinguished from one another at least based upon flower shape, petal shape, plant height, flowering time, and flowering amount. Plants of ‘15516 GR’ are taller and exhibit earlier and more profuse flowering and petals that are less overlapping and more elongated than plants of ‘Heartthrob’.
‘15516 GR’ is illustrated by the accompanying photographs, which show the plant's form, foliage, flowers, and leaves. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘15516 GR’. The detailed description was obtained using two-year-old plants grown in loamy sand, open-field, full sun trials at a nursery near Vernon, Tex., during which the plants were supplemented with fertilizer and water as needed. These plants are natural habit and were not treated with plant growth regulators and they were not pinched at any time in the growth year. ‘15516 GR’ has not been observed under all possible environments, and certain characteristics may vary slightly under different environmental conditions. Color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), 2001 (4th edition).
