Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of an ornamental Ipomoea plant named ‘Balsotowlim’, characterized by its medium lime-green colored foliage, and vigorous, climbing growth habit, is disclosed.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Ipomoea batatas.
Variety denomination: ‘Balsotowlim’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ipomoea plant botanically known as Ipomoea batatas and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balsotowlim’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Arroyo Grande, Calif. during January 2015. The objective of the breeding program was the development of ornamental Ipomoea cultivars with a vigorous, climbing habit.
The new ornamental Ipomoea cultivar is the result of cross-pollination. The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Ipomoea batatas breeding selection coded 098-001, not patented, characterized by its light lime-green colored foliage and moderately vigorous, spreading growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar is ‘Okinawa Purple’, not patented, characterized by its medium blue-green colored foliage and vigorous, climbing growth habit. The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during May 2015 in a controlled environment in Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since May 2015 in Arroyo Grande, Calif., and West Chicago, Ill. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Balsotowlim’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Ipomoea plant:
-
- 1. Medium lime-green colored foliage; and
- 2. Vigorous, climbing growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in having a climbing growth habit. Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the male parent primarily in having a lighter and lime green-colored foliage.
Of the many commercially available ornamental Ipomoea cultivars, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is SolarPower Lime ‘Balsolalimli’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,536. However, in side-by-side comparison, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balsolalimli’ in at least the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar have a more vigorous, climbing growth habit than plants of ‘Balsolalimli’; and
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar have a leaf shape that is more shallowly lobed than plants of ‘Balsolalimli’.
The new cultivar can also be compared to formerly commercially available SolarTower Lime ‘Balsotowime’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,510. However, in side-by-side comparison, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balsotowime’ in at least the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar are taller and wider than plants of ‘Balsotowime’; and
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar have more branches per plant than plants of ‘Balsotowime’.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Balsotowlim’. The plants were approximately 3 months old and grown in 6-inch pots for approximately 7 weeks in a greenhouse in West Chicago, Ill.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2015 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined in March 2017 under natural light conditions in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe approximately 3-month old plants produced from cuttings from stock plants and grown in a glass-covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown in West Chicago, Ill. in 6-inch pots for approximately 7 weeks utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 67° F. to 72° F. (19° C. to 22° C.) during the day and approximately 65° F. to 68° F. (18° C. to 20° C.) during the night. Supplemental lighting was used. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plants.
