Abstract
A new cultivar of Rudbeckia plant named ‘RUDPA297’ that is characterized by its vigorous growth habit yet maintaining a compact plant habit, its very floriferous blooming habit, and its inflorescences with disks that are green-yellow in color and ray florets that are yellow-orange in color.
Description
Botanical classification: Rudbeckia hirta.
Variety denomination: ‘RUDPA297’.
This application is related to U.S. Plant Patent Applications filed for plants derived from the same breeding program that are entitled Rudbeckia Plant Named ‘RUDHT37’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,657) and Rudbeckia Plant Named ‘RUDHT25’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,728). This application claims priority to European Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) Plant Breeder's Rights Application No. 2020/0007 filed on Jan. 6, 2020 under 35 U.S.C. 119(f), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Rudbeckia hirta and will hereafter by referred to by its cultivar name, ‘RUDPA297’. The new cultivar is an herbaceous perennial grown for use as a landscape plant.
‘RUDPA297’ was derived from a breeding program conducted by the Inventor at a nursery in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to select new cultivars of Rudbeckia with floriferous blooming habits and compact plant habits.
‘RUDPA297’ was selected in July of 2018 by the Inventor from amongst seedlings in a trial field that had been planted with seed derived from open pollination of numerous unpatented and unnamed proprietary plants from the Inventor's breeding program in July of 2017. The exact parentage is therefore unknown.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished under the direction of the Inventor by tissue culture using meristematic tissue in Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands in March of 2019. Asexual propagation by tissue culture has determined that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The Applicant asserts that no publications or advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale, or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor. The Applicant claims a prior art exemption under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date. Disclosures include but may not be limited to a website listing by AB-Cultivars (a company owned by the Inventor).
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘RUDPA297’ as a unique cultivar of Rudbeckia.
-
- 1. ‘RUDPA297’ exhibits a vigorous growth habit yet maintains a compact plant habit.
- 2. ‘RUDPA297’ exhibits a very floriferous blooming habit.
- 3. ‘RUDPA297’ exhibits inflorescences with disks that are green-yellow in color and ray florets that are yellow-orange in color.
‘RUDPA297’ can be compared to the Rudbeckia cultivars ‘RUDHT37’ and ‘RUDHT25’. ‘RUDHT37’ is similar to ‘RUDPA297’ in ray floret color. ‘RUDHT37’ differs from ‘RUDPA297’ in being taller in height, in having a less spreading plant habit, in commencing bloom later in the flowering season, and in having inflorescence disk florets that are dark brown in color. ‘RUDHT25’ is similar to ‘RUDPA297’ in foliage color. ‘RUDHT25’ differs from ‘RUDPA297’ in having a shorter plant height and inflorescences that open later in the season, are smaller in diameter with ray florets that are yellow-orange in color with grey-purple to brown bases.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Rudbeckia. The photographs were taken of a 6-month-old plant of ‘RUDPA297’ as grown outdoors in a 17-cm container in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 is a side view of ‘RUDPA297’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of an inflorescence of ‘RUDPA297’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘RUDPA297’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized and the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Rudbeckia.
The following is a detailed description of 6-month-old plants of ‘RUDPA297’ as grown outdoors in 17-cm containers in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2015 Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
