Abstract
The new and distinct Yarrow, Achillea plant named ‘Sassy Summer Silver’, with narrow, silvery, fern-like foliage with moderately dissected lobules; tall, stiff, heavily branched peduncles with bright, golden yellow inflorescences, beginning in mid to late June and continuing for about six weeks. The new plant is useful for landscaping, as a specimen or en masse and as a cut flower.
Description
Botanical designation: Achillea hybrid.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sassy Summer Silver’.
The first public disclosure of the claimed plant, in the form of a sale, was made by Walters Gardens, Inc. on Jul. 9, 2018. Prior to that, on Feb. 1, 2018 the claimed plant was displayed as a photograph with a brief description on a website operated by Walters Gardens, Inc., who obtained the plant and all information relating thereto, from the inventor. No plants of Achillea ‘Sassy Summer Silver’ 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 yarrow herein also referred to as Achillea ‘Sassy Summer Silver’, by the cultivar name, ‘Sassy Summer Silver’, or as the new plant. The new plant was selected by the inventor as a single seedling resulting from an insect pollination cross in an isolation block between ‘Moonshine’ (not patented) crossed with an unknown male parent on Jun. 23, 2014 in research facility of a wholesale perennial grower based in Zeeland, Mich., USA. The seeds from this cross were collected late summer of 2014. The single seedling was then isolated and compared in subsequent years to other Yarrow and subsequently found to be different from all cultivars known to the discoverer and eventually given the breeder code 14-53-2.
Asexual propagation beginning in the August of 2015 at the same nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA by basal tip cuttings has shown ‘Sassy Summer Silver’ to be stable and reproduce true to type in successive generations.
Achillea ‘Sassy Summer Silver’ has not been observed in all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary slightly with changes in environments such as light intensity, fertility, water availability, etc. without, however any variation in genotype.
Achillea ‘Sassy Summer Silver’ is distinct from all cultivars known to the inventor in the following traits:
-
- 1. Narrow, very silvery, fern-like foliage with medium height and dense upright habit.
- 2. Numerous large panicles of bright, golden yellow inflorescences.
- 3. Ray florets and disk florets the same bright, golden yellow coloration.
- 4. Heavily-branched peduncles with center main cluster to about 11 cm across.
- 5. Sturdy stems withstand wind and rain.
- 6. Flowering begins mid to late June and continues for six weeks.
Plants of Achillea ‘Sassy Summer Silver’ are most similar to ‘Moonshine’ (not patented) ‘Coronation Gold’ (not patented), ‘Sunny Seduction’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,808, ‘Anblo’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,828, ‘Sassy Summer Lemon’ U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 16/350,800 and ‘Parker's Variety’ (not patented). ‘Moonshine’ has deeper gold floret coloration and the foliage shows susceptibility to botrytis. ‘Coronation Gold’ has deeper yellow floret color and is significantly taller in habit. ‘Sunny Seduction’ has slightly deeper yellow floret color and is slightly taller in habit in side by side trials. ‘Anblo’, sold under the tradename ANTHEA™ has paler yellow florets and is slightly shorter than the new plant. ‘Sassy Summer Lemon’ has a lighter yellow floret color, flowers at least a week earlier, and is taller in habit with fewer whitish hairs on the foliage and deeper cleft lobules. ‘Parker's Variety’ is much taller and less compact in habit and the florets are deeper gold colored.
The color drawings illustrate the overall characteristics of Achillea ‘Sassy Summer Silver’ as a three-year-old plant grown in a full-sun trial garden in Zeeland, Mich. The colors are as true as reasonably possible given the technology available. The color values may vary slightly depending on light intensity and quality.

Environmental conditions for the growing season daytime temperatures range between 12-30° C., and night temperatures range between 6-19° C.
