Abstract
A new and distinct Aloe cultivar named ‘SWORDFISH’ is disclosed, characterized by violet-blue leaves with a scalloped red edge. Plants are a size suitable for landscape use. The new variety is an Aloe, typically produced as a garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Aloe hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘SWORDFISH’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The seed parent is the unpatented Aloe hybrid ‘Sunset’. The pollen parent is an unnamed, unpatented variety of Aloe divaricata. The crossing was made in December 2014 at a commercial greenhouse in Vista, Calif. ‘SWORDFISH’ was selected by the inventor in November 2015.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘SWORDFISH’ was first performed by tissue culture at a commercial laboratory in Vista, Calif. in December 2015. ‘SWORDFISH’ has since produced several generations and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘SWORDFISH’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘SWORDFISH.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SWORDFISH’ as a new and distinct Aloe cultivar:
- 1. Scalloped red leaf edge.
- 2. Intense violet-blue leaves.
- 3. Branched red-flowered inflorescence.
- 4. Larger plant size suitable for landscape use.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SWORDFISH’ are similar to the seed parent in most horticultural characteristics. However, plants of the new variety differ from the seed parent in the following:
- 1. New variety is a larger plant than the seed parent.
- 2. New variety has brighter colored leaves than the seed parent.
- 3. New variety has a deeper red and more pronounced leaf edge than the seed parent.
- 4. New variety produces larger flowers than the seed parent.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SWORDFISH’ are similar to the pollen parent in most horticultural characteristics. However, plants of the new variety differ in the following:
- 1. New variety is a smaller plant than the pollen parent.
- 2. New variety has a more violet-blue leaf color than the pollen parent.
- 3. New variety has a more distinct scalloped leave edge than the pollen parent.
‘SWORDFISH’ can be compared to the unpatented commercial variety Aloe ‘Sunset’. The two Aloe varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety differs in the following:
- 1. New variety is a larger plant than this comparator.
- 2. New variety has more colorful leaves than this comparator.
- 3. New variety has larger flowers than this comparator.
‘SWORDFISH’ can also be compared to the commercial variety Aloe ‘Candy Corn’ (unpatented). The two Aloe varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety differs in the following:
- 1. New variety has better symmetry than this comparator, with foliage growing at more regular spacing.
- 2. New variety has brighter coloring of leaves at all light levels than this comparator.
- 3. New variety has more clearly defined red scalloped edges than this comparator.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical flowering plant of ‘SWORDFISH’ grown outdoors in Carlsbad, Calif. This plant is approximately 2 years old.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart, 2007 edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘SWORDFISH’ plants in a commercial greenhouse in Vista, Calif. Temperatures ranged from 21° C. to 25° C. during the day, and 18° C. to 21° C. during the night. No artificial light, photoperiodic treatments or chemical treatments were given to the plants. Natural light conditions were approximately 2500 to 3000 fc of light. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
