Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named ‘Sunshine Beauty’, characterized by its deep orange-yellow and yellow colored inflorescences, medium green-colored foliage, and moderately vigorous, upright-mounded growth habit, is disclosed.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Osteospermum ecklonis.
Variety denomination: ‘Sunshine Beauty’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant botanically known as Osteospermum ecklonis and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Sunshine Beauty’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Santa Paula, Calif. during February 2015. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Osteospermum cultivars that are freely flowering with unique flower coloration and a freely branching, upright-mounded growth habit.
The new Osteospermum cultivar is the result of cross-pollination. The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Osteospermum ecklonis breeding selection coded 84820-3, not patented, characterized by its dark yellow-orange colored inflorescences, medium green-colored foliage, and moderately vigorous, upright-mounded growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary. Osteospermum ecklonis breeding selection coded 58876-3, not patented, characterized by its dark yellow-orange colored inflorescences, medium green-colored foliage, low to moderate growth vigor, and upright-mounded growth habit. The new cultivar was selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during February 2016 in a controlled environment in Santa Paula, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stern cuttings since February 2016 in Santa. Paula, 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.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Sunshine Beauty’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant:
-
- 1. Deep orange-yellow and yellow colored inflorescences;
- 2. Medium green-colored foliage; and
- 3. Moderately vigorous, upright-mounded growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in having inflorescences with a larger diameter. Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the male parent primarily in having inflorescences with a larger diameter and increased growth vigor.
Of the many commercially available Osteospermum cultivars, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is Blue Eyed Beauty ‘Balostlueye’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 26,150. However, in side-by-side comparison, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balostlueye’ in at least the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar have a ray floret color that does not have a large red-purple colored area like plants of ‘Balostlueye’;
- 2, Plants of the new cultivar have smaller diameter inflorescences than plants of ‘Balostlueye’; and
- 3. Plants of the new cultivar have shorter disc florets than plants of ‘Balostlueye’.
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 ‘Sunshine Beauty’. The approximately 4-month-old plants and were grown in 4.5-inch pots for 12 weeks in a greenhouse in West Chicago, Ill. Plants were given one pinch two weeks before transplant.
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 January 2020 under natural light conditions in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe approximately 4-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. in 4.5-inch pots for 12 weeks utilizing a soilless growth medium. Plants were given one pinch two weeks before transplant. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 67° F. to 72° F. (19° C. to 22° C.) during the day and approximately 64° F. to 66° F. (18° C. to 19° C.) during the night. Supplemental lighting was used. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plants.
