Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Leucanthemum plant named ‘Doleuswedare’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; strong and upright flowering stems; early and freely flowering habit; large spider-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets and bright yellow-colored disc florets; good inflorescence longevity; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Leucanthemum maximum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DOLEUSWEDARE’.
STATEMENT REGARDING PRIOR DISCLOSURES BY INVENTOR & APPLICANT/ASSIGNEE
An European Community Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Applicant/Assignee, Dümmen Group B.V. of De Lier, The Netherlands on Aug. 24, 2020, application number 2020/1984. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.
The Inventor and Applicant/Assignee assert 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 and/or Applicant/Assignee. Inventor and Applicant/Assignee claim 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.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Leucanthemum plant, botanically known as Leucanthemum maximum and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Doleuswedare’.
The new Leucanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Leucanthemum plants with numerous unique and attractive inflorescences.
The new Leucanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination in June, 2014 of a proprietary selection of Leucanthemum maximum identified as code number LC-0021, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Leucanthemum maximum identified as code number LC-0026, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Leucanthemum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in April, 2015.
Asexual reproduction of the new Leucanthemum plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, since May, 2015 has shown that the unique features of this new Leucanthemum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Leucanthemum 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 ‘Doleuswedare’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Doleuswedare’ as a new and distinct Leucanthemum plant:
    • 1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Strong and upright flowering stems.
    • 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Large spider-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets and bright yellow-colored disc florets.
    • 6. Good inflorescence longevity.
    • 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Leucanthemum differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in ray floret size as ray florets of plants of the new Leucanthemum are broader than ray florets of plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Leucanthemum differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in inflorescence type as plants of the new Leucanthemum have spider-type inflorescences whereas plants of the male parent selection have decorative-type inflorescences.
Plants of the new Leucanthemum can be compared to plants of Leucanthemum x superbum ‘Goldfinch’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,499. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Leucanthemum differ from plants of ‘Goldfinch’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Leucanthemum flower earlier than plants of ‘Goldfinch’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Leucanthemum have spider-type inflorescences whereas plants of ‘Goldfinch’ have decorative-type inflorescences.
    • 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Leucanthemum are white in color whereas ray florets of plants of ‘Goldfinch’ are yellow in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Leucanthemum plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Leucanthemum plant. The photograph is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Doleuswedare’ grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 13-cm containers in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands during the early summer initially in a greenhouse and finished in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and cultural practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Leucanthemum plant production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 21° C. and night temperatures averaged 15° C. Plants were 20 weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Second Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Measurements represent averages for typical flowering plants.
