Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant named ‘Ballany177’, characterized by its light yellow-colored inflorescences, dark green-colored foliage, and vigorous, mounded-spreading growth habit, is disclosed.

Description

Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Lantana camara.
Variety denomination: ‘Ballany177’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant botanically known as Lantana camara and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Ballany177’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Guadalupe, Calif. during June 2016. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Lantana cultivars have attractive flower coloration, dark green foliage, and a vigorous, mounded-spreading growth habit.
The new Lantana cultivar is the result of cross-pollination. The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Lantana camara breeding selection coded 3599-A, not patented, characterized by its medium pink-colored inflorescences, medium green-colored foliage, moderately vigorous, semi-upright growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar is BANDANA Peach ‘LANZ0002’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,317, characterized by its yellow, orange, and light red multicolored flowers, medium green-colored foliage, and moderately vigorous, relatively compact and mounding growth habit. The new cultivar was selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during May 2017 in a controlled environment in Guadalupe, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since May 2017 in Guadalupe, Calif. and Arroyo Grande, Calif. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Ballany177’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant:
    • 1. Light yellow-colored inflorescences;
    • 2. Dark green-colored foliage; and
    • 3. Vigorous, mounded-spreading growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female and male parents primarily in having a yellow-colored inflorescence, increased growth vigor and a mounded-spreading growth habit.
Of the many commercially available Lantana cultivars, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is Landmark Yellow ‘Balucyell’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,684. However, in side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balucyell’ in at least the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new cultivar have lighter yellow-colored inflorescences than plants of ‘Balucyell’; and
    • 2. Plants of the new cultivar are wider than plants of ‘Balucyell’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Ballany177’. The approximately 3-month-old plants were grown in 4.5-inch pots for approximately 2 weeks, then transplanted into 6-inch pots and grown for an additional 6 weeks in a greenhouse in West Chicago, Ill. Plants were given one pinch one week after the first transplant.
FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of the overall growth and flowering habit of ‘Ballany177’.
FIG. 2 illustrates a close-up view of an individual inflorescence of ‘Ballany177’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2015 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined in March 2020 under natural light conditions in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe approximately 3-month-old plants produced from cuttings from stock plants and grown in a glass-covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown in West Chicago, Ill. utilizing a soilless growth medium in 4.5-inch pots for approximately 2 weeks, then transplanted into 6-inch pots and grown for an additional 8 weeks. Plants were given one pinch one week after the first transplant. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 67° F. to 72° F. (19° C. to 22° C.) during the day and approximately 65° F. to 68° F. (18° C. to 20° C.) during the night. Supplemental lighting was used. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plants.
