Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Lavandula angustifolia plant named ‘KERBEEDARK’ is disclosed, characterized, by a compact, bushy and dense plant habit. Plants are free flowering, with uniquely short peduncles and dark violet flowers. The new variety is a Lavandula angustifolia, suitable for outdoor landscape and container use.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Lavandula angustifolia.
Variety denomination: ‘KERBEEDARK’.
The new cultivar is the product of a planned breeding program under the direction of the inventors, David Kerley, Priscilla Kerley, Sarah Kerley, and Timothy Kerley, all citizens of the United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Lavandula angustifolia cultivars for commercial ornamental purposes. During the Summer of 2013, the inventors performed an open-pollination of 5 Lavandula angustifolia varieties, which included 4 proprietary, unnamed, unpatented Lavandula angustifolia varieties, and the unpatented proprietary variety Lavandula angustifolia BEEZEE ‘Power Blue’. This resulted in the selection of the new variety ‘Kerbeedark’ in July 2014. The breeding program and selection all took place at a commercial nursery in Cambridge, the United Kingdom.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘KERBEEDARK’ was first performed in Cambridge, UK in August 2014 by terminal vegetative cuttings and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar ‘KERBEEDARK’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘KERBEEDARK’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘KERBEEDARK’ as a new and distinct Lavandula cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact, bushy plants.
- 2. Short peduncles.
- 3. Free flowering.
- 4. Dark violet flowers.
Exact parents cannot be identified for comparison, as this was an open-pollination and seed was bulk collected. In general, the new variety is more compact and floriferous than the five varieties used in the open-pollination. The new variety has a darker flower color than the possible parent, ‘Power Blue’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘KERBEEDARK’ are similar to plants of the unpatented variety Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘KERBEEDARK’ differ in the following:
-
- 1. The new variety is a shorter plant than this comparator.
- 2. The new variety has shorter peduncles than this comparator.
- 3. The new variety has 3 buds that subtend from each bract, while this comparator has 5 buds.
- 4. Flowers of the new variety are a darker violet than flowers of this comparator.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘KERBEEDARK’ grown outdoors in Cambridge, UK. The plant is approximately 1 year old shown in an approximately 10 inch pot.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘KERBEEDARK’ plants grown outdoors in Cambridge, UK. The growing temperature ranged from approximately 0 to 10° C. at night to 10 to 20° C. during the day. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering types. No chemical or photoperiodic treatments were given.
