Description
Botanical designation: Caladium X hortulanum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘GPR SWT STR 013-993’.
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 Caladium plant, botanically known as Caladium X hortulanum, commercially referred to as a lance leaf-type Caladium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘GPR SWT STR 013-993’.
The objective of the Inventor's breeding program is to create new Caladium plants that have uniform plant habit, exceptional container and garden performance and attractive and unique leaf coloration.
The new Caladium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in April, 2012 in Avon Park, Fla. of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Florida Sweetheart’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,526, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed proprietary selection of Caladium X hortulanum primarily used as a breeding parent, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Caladium plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Avon Park, Fla. in September, 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new Caladium plant by “chipping” the tubers (cutting the tuber into segments with each segment containing an axillary bud and tuber cortical tissue) in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Zolfo Springs, Fla. since April, 2014 has shown that the unique features of this new Caladium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Caladium 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 ‘GPR SWT STR 013-993’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘GPR SWT STR 013-993’ as a new and distinct Caladium plant:
-
- 1. Intermediate in height and somewhat mounding plant habit; dense and bushy appearance.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
- 3. Thick and rigid lance-type leaves that are purplish red or white predominantly and variably flushed with purplish red with dark purplish grey-colored venation and dark green-colored margins.
- 4. Petioles that are black or brownish green in color with black-colored stippling, stripes and streaks.
- 5. Excellent garden performance with tolerance to full sunlight, wind and rain.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘Florida Sweetheart’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium are taller and more upright than plants of ‘Florida Sweetheart’.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Florida Sweetheart’ differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are purplish red or white predominantly flushed with purplish red with dark purplish grey-colored venation and dark green-colored margins whereas leaves of ‘Florida Sweetheart’ have dark pink-colored venation, rose pink-colored interveinal areas with greenish white-colored margins.
- 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Florida Sweetheart’ differ in leaf petiole color as leaf petioles of the new Caladium are black or brownish green in color with black-colored stippling, stripes and streaks in color whereas leaf petioles of ‘Florida Sweetheart’ are tannish pink in color with darker-colored stripes.
Plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Caladium are thicker and more undulate than leaves of plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium and the male parent selection differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are purplish red or white predominantly flushed with purplish red with dark purplish grey-colored venation and dark green-colored margins whereas leaves of the male parent selection are white to greenish white in color flushed with reddish purple.
Plants of the new Caladium can be compared to plants of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Green Pearl’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of ‘Green Pearl’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium grow faster than plants of ‘Green Pearl’.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Green Pearl’ differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are purplish red or white predominantly flushed with purplish red with dark purplish grey-colored venation and dark green-colored margins whereas leaves of ‘Green Pearl’ are predominately white or greenish white in color with green to dark green-colored venation and thin green-colored margins.
- 3. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Green Pearl’ in leaf petiole color as leaf petioles of the new Caladium are black or brownish green in color with black-colored stippling, stripes and streaks in color whereas leaf petioles of ‘Green Pearl’ are green to tannish green in color.
Plants of the new Caladium can also be compared to plants of Caladium X hortulanum ‘Blushing Bride’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,213. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Caladium differ primarily from plants of ‘Blushing Bride’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Blushing Bride’ differ in leaf color as leaves of the new Caladium are purplish red or white predominantly flushed with purplish red with dark purplish grey-colored venation and dark green-colored margins whereas leaves of ‘Blushing Bride’ are greyed purple in color with dark green-colored margins and whitish-colored venation tinged with greyed purple.
- 2. Plants of the new Caladium and ‘Blushing Bride’ in leaf petiole color as leaf petioles of the new Caladium are black or brownish green in color with black-colored stippling, stripes and streaks in color whereas leaf petioles of ‘Blushing Bride’ are tannish pink to tannish green in color with dark brownish green-colored stippling, streaks and tessellations.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Caladium 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 Caladium plant.

The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 15-cm containers in a polypropylene-covered shade house (30% light reduction) in Avon Park, Fla. and plants grown in ground beds under full sunlight conditions in an outdoor nursery in Crewsville, Fla. The plants were grown under cultural practices typical of commercial shade house and outdoor nursery production. During the production of the shade house-grown plants, day temperatures ranged from about 28° C. to 33° C., night temperatures ranged from about 22° C. to 25° C. and light levels were about 8,000 foot-candles. During the production of the outdoor nursery-grown plants, day temperatures ranged from about 29° C. to 35° C., night temperatures ranged from about 23° C. to 26° C. and light levels ranged from 10,000 to 12,000 foot-candles. Plants grown in the shade house were six weeks old and plants grown in the outdoor nursery were six months old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken.
