Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Allium plant named ‘Avat88’, characterized by its upright plant habit with upright flowering stems; vigorous growth habit and moderately rapid growth rate; ensiform yellow green-colored leaves; early and freely flowering habit; numerous light purple-colored flowers arranged on dense inflorescences; long flowering period; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Allium tanguticum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘AVAT88’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Allium plant, botanically known as Allium tanguticum and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Avat88’.
The new Allium plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Allium tanguticum ‘Summer Beauty’, not patented. The new Allium plant was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single plant from within a population of plants of ‘Summer Beauty’ in a controlled environment in Lisserbroek, The Netherlands in September, 2017.
Asexual reproduction of the new Allium plant by divisions in a controlled environment in Lisserbroek, The Netherlands since September, 2017 has shown that the unique features of this new Allium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Allium have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature 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 ‘Avat88’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Avat88’ as a new and distinct Allium plant:
-
- 1. Upright plant habit with upright flowering stems.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit and moderately rapid growth rate.
- 3. Ensiform yellow green-colored leaves.
- 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Numerous light purple-colored flowers arranged on dense inflorescences.
- 6. Long flowering period.
- 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Allium differ primarily from plants of the mutation parent, ‘Summer Beauty’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Allium are taller than plants of ‘Summer Beauty’.
- 2. Plants of the new Allium are more freely flowering than plants of ‘Summer Beauty’.
- 3. Plants of the new Allium start flowering earlier during the flowering season than plants of ‘Summer Beauty’.
- 4. Plants of the new Allium flower four weeks longer during the flowering season than plants of ‘Summer Beauty’.
Plants of the new Allium can be compared to plants of Allium hybrida ‘Meisi’, not patented. Plants of the new Allium differ primarily from plants of ‘Meisi’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Allium are not as coarse as leaves of plants of ‘Meisi’.
- 2. Plants of the new Allium start flowering earlier during the flowering season than plants of ‘Meisi’.
- 3. Flowers of plants of the new Allium are lighter purple in color than flowers of plants of ‘Meisi’.
Plants of the new Allium can also be compared to plants of Allium hybrida ‘Millennium’, not patented. Plants of the new Allium differ primarily from plants of ‘Millennium’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Allium are more freely flowering than plants of ‘Millennium’.
- 2. Plants of the new Allium start flowering earlier during the flowering season than plants of ‘Millennium’.
- 3. Plants of the new Allium flower for a longer period of time during the flowering season than plants of ‘Millennium’.
- 4. Flowers of plants of the new Allium are lighter purple in color than flowers of plants of ‘Millennium’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Allium plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Allium plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 of 2) is a side perspective view of typical flowering plant of ‘Avat88’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 of 2) is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Avat88’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer in 19-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Lisserbroek, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Allium production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 40° C. and night temperatures ranged from 8° C. to 24° C. Plants were five months old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
