Abstract
A new and distinct Petunia plant named ‘BBTUN04401’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form; early and freely flowering habit; white-colored flowers with yellow green-colored venation and centers; and excellent garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Petunia X hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BBTUN04401’.
This application claims priority to a Canadian Plant Breeders' Rights application filed on May 17, 2019, application number 19-9875. 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 Inventor/Applicant asserts that no publications nor 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. 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.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia X hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘BBTUN04401’.
The new Petunia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Bonsall, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new vigorous, freely-branching and uniformly mounding Petunia plants with early and freely flowering habit, unique attractive flowers and good garden performance.
The new Petunia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor on Oct. 5, 2016 in Bonsall, Calif. of a proprietary seedling selection of Petunia X hybrida identified as code number 16PB873-02, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Petunia X hybrida ‘Duesurimwi’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,870, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Petunia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Bonsall, Calif. on May 19, 2017.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Bonsall, Calif. since Jun. 1, 2017 has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Petunia 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 ‘BBTUN04401’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘BBTUN04401’ as a new and distinct Petunia plant:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
- 3. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form.
- 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
- 5. White-colored flowers with yellow green-colored venation and centers.
- 6. Excellent garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more vigorous than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia are denser and bushier than plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia have white-colored flowers with yellow green-colored venation and centers whereas plants of the female parent selection have cream-colored flowers with light brown-colored venation and centers.
- 4. Plants of the new Petunia perform better in the garden than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Duesurimwi’. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of ‘Duesurimwi’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more outwardly spreading, more vigorous and larger than plants of ‘Duesurimwi’.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia are more freely branching and denser and bushier than plants of ‘Duesurimwi’.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia perform better in the garden than plants of ‘Duesurimwi’.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of ‘USTUNI6001’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,730. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of ‘USTUNI6001’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more vigorous than plants of ‘USTUNI6001’.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia are more outwardly spreading than and not as upright as plants of ‘USTUNI6001’.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia are denser and bushier than plants of ‘USTUNI6001’.
- 4. Plants of the new Petunia and ‘USTUNI6001’ differ in flower color as plants of the new Petunia have white-colored flowers with yellow green-colored venation and centers whereas plants of ‘USTUNI6001’ have bright pink-colored flowers with red purple-colored venation.
- 5. Plants of the new Petunia perform better in the garden than plants of ‘USTUNI6001’.
Plants of the new Petunia can also be compared to plants of ‘KL 1117’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,485. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of ‘KL 1117’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more vigorous and larger than plants of ‘KL 1117’.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia are more outwardly spreading than and not as upright as plants of ‘KL 1117’.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia are denser and bushier than plants of ‘KL 1117’.
- 4. Plants of the new Petunia perform better in the garden than plants of ‘KL 1117’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Petunia 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 Petunia plant.
At the top of the photographic sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘BBTUN04401’ grown in a container and at the bottom of the photographic sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘BBTUN04401’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the spring in 15.25-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada and under cultural practices typical of commercial Petunia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 27° C. and night temperatures averaged 15° C. Plants were pinched three weeks after planting and were ten weeks from planting rooted cuttings when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
