Abstract
A new cultivar of Rudbeckia plant named ‘RUDBR159’ that is characterized by its well-branched plant habit, its strong stems, its very floriferous blooming habit, its long flowering period, its long flowering period, and its inflorescences with ray florets that are yellow-orange in color and dark greyed-orange at the base.
Description
Botanical classification: Rudbeckia hirta.
Variety denomination: ‘RUDBR159’.
This application is related to a European plant breeders' rights application filed on Sep. 3, 2018, application No. 2018/2253. There have been no offers for sale anywhere in the world prior to the effective filing date of this Application and no accessibility to one of ordinary skill in the art could have been derived from the printed plant breeder's rights documents.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Rudbeckia hirta and will hereafter by referred to by its cultivar name, ‘RUDBR159’. The new cultivar is an herbaceous perennial grown for use as a landscape plant.
‘RUDBR159’ was derived from a breeding program in July of 2016 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.
‘RUDBR159’ was selected in July of 2017 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. 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 January 2018. 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 from and/or sales prior to the filing date but less. than one year prior to the effective filing date. Disclosure includes 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 ‘RUDBR159’ as a unique cultivar of Rudbeckia.
-
- 1. ‘RUDBR159’ exhibits a short plant height.
- 2. ‘RUDBR159’ exhibits a well-branched plant habit.
- 3. ‘RUDBR159’ exhibits strong stems.
- 4. ‘RUDBR159’ exhibits a very floriferous blooming habit.
- 5. ‘RUDBR159’ exhibits a long flowering period.
- 6. ‘RUDBR159’ exhibits inflorescences with ray florets that are yellow-orange in color and dark greyed-orange at the base.
‘RUDBR159’ can be compared to the Rudbeckia cultivars ‘Kissing SmileyZ’ (not patented), and ‘Laughing SmileyZ’ (not patented). ‘Kissing SmileyZ’ and ‘Laughing SmileyZ’ are both similar to ‘RUDBR159’ in having floriferous blooming habits. ‘Kissing SmileyZ’ differs from ‘RUDBR159’ in having a slightly taller plant height, in commencing bloom earlier in the season, and I having ray florets that are grey-orange-brown with yellow tips on the upper ¼. ‘Laughing SmileyZ’ differs from ‘RUDBR159’ in having inflorescences that are slightly larger in size, inflorescence disks that are smaller in diameter and ray florets that are clear grey-orange on the lower half and dark yellow-orange on the upper half.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Rudbeckia. The photographs were taken of a 4-month-old plant of ‘RUDBR159’ as grown outdoors in a 19-cm container in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 is a side view of ‘RUDBR159’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the inflorescences of ‘RUDBR159’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘RUDBR159’.
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 4-month-old plants of ‘RUDBR159’ as grown outdoors in 19-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.
