Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Red Hot Poker plant named Kniphofia ‘Solar Flare’ with long, gracefully-arching, strap-like, keeled, glaucous, gray-green foliage and numerous scapes beginning in early summer and repeating though early fall. Habit is densely-growing, winter-hardy and tolerant of heat. Numerous scapes with dense flowers of bright-yellow flowers. The new plant is useful for landscaping as a specimen, en masse, or as a long-lasting cut flower.
Description
Botanical classification: Kniphofia hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Solar Flare’.
The first public disclosure of the claimed plant, in the form of a sale, was made by Walters Gardens, Inc. on May 14, 2018. Prior to that, on Dec. 1, 2017 the claimed plant was displayed with a photograph and brief sales promotion on the website of Walters Gardens, Inc., who obtained the plant and all information relating thereto, from the inventor. No plants of Kniphofia ‘Solar Flare’ 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 Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia ‘Solar Flare’ developed under the direction of the inventor at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA. The new plant was the result of a single seedling selection from a cross of ‘Sally's Comet’ (not patented) as the female or seed parent and ‘Echo Mango’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,706 as the male or pollen parent on Jul. 9, 2013. The plant passed initial evaluation in the summer of 2015 and was subsequently given the breeder code 13-4-7 prior to naming. Kniphofia ‘Solar Flare’ 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 successive generations.
Kniphofia ‘Solar Flare’ differs from its parents as well as all other Kniphofia known to the applicant. The most similar known Kniphofia cultivars are the female parent ‘Sally's Comet’, ‘Flashpoint’ co-pending U.S. Plant Patent Application and ‘Banana Popsicle’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,617. ‘Banana Popsicle’ is much shorter in scape and foliage height with fewer flowers per inflorescence. ‘Flashpoint’ is slightly taller in scape height, foliage height and overall habit and has a lighter chartreuse-yellow flower buds and cream flowers later in the summer. ‘Sally's Comet’ has green buds five days prior to opening and chartreuse buds one day prior to opening, and the plant is slightly shorter in habit. ‘Echo Mango’ is more apricot-orange-colored in flower.
Kniphofia ‘Solar Flare’ 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, and moderate-sized clumps.
- 3. Numerous spikes of bright-yellow flowers medium height stems;
- 4. Flowering beginning early-summer and repeating into early October in Michigan.
The photographs of Kniphofia ‘Solar Flare’ 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 ‘Solar Flare’, 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.
