Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Agastache plant named ‘Danish Delight’, characterized by its tall and upright plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; bright green-colored leaves; relatively long inflorescences with numerous large flowers that are bright reddish purple in color; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Agastache hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DANISH DELIGHT’.
STATEMENT REGARDING PRIOR DISCLOSURES BY INVENTOR & APPLICANT/ASSIGNEE
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 exception 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 Agastache plant, botanically known as Agastache hybrida, commonly referred to as Giant Hyssop and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Danish Delight’.
The new Agastache plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aabybro, Denmark. The objective of the breeding program is to create new and unique Agastache plants.
The new Agastache plant originated from a cross-pollination during the summer of 2016 of Agastache hybrida ‘Blue Boa’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,050, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed proprietary selection of Agastache hybrida, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Agastache 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 Aabybro, Denmark during the summer of 2017.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by softwood cuttings in Aabybro, Denmark since the summer of 2018 has shown that the unique features of this new Agastache plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Agastache 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 ‘Danish Delight’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Danish Delight’ as a new and distinct Agastache plant:
    • 1. Tall and upright plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
    • 3. Bright green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Relatively long inflorescences with numerous large flowers that are bright reddish purple in color.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Agastache can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Blue Boa’. Plants of the new Agastache differ primarily from plants of ‘Blue Boa’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Agastache are taller than plants of ‘Blue Boa’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Agastache have bright reddish purple-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Blue Boa’ have deep purple blue-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Agastache can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Agastache differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Agastache have thicker and stronger stems than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Agastache have larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Agastache have bright reddish purple-colored flowers whereas plants of the male parent selection have blue-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Agastache can be compared to plants of Agastache hybrida ‘Sangria’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Agastache differ primarily from plants of ‘Sangria’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Agastache are taller than plants of ‘Sangria’.
    • 2. Inflorescences of plants of the new Agastache are longer and broader than inflorescences of plants of ‘Sangria’.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Agastache are bright reddish purple in color whereas flowers of plants of ‘Sangria’ are dark purple in color.
    • 4. Plants of the new Agastache are more winter hardy than plants of ‘Sangria’.
Plants of the new Agastache can also be compared to plants of Agastache mexicana ‘Red Fortune’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,816. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Agastache differ primarily from plants of ‘Red Fortune’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Agastache are taller than plants of ‘Red Fortune’.
    • 2. Inflorescences of plants of the new Agastache are shorter and broader than inflorescences of plants of ‘Red Fortune’.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Agastache are bright reddish purple in color whereas flowers of plants of ‘Red Fortune’ are purple red in color.
    • 4. Plants of the new Agastache are more durable than plants of ‘Red Fortune’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Agastache 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 actual colors of the new Agastache plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Danish Delight’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2) is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Danish Delight’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the autumn in 9-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Lisserbroek, The Netherlands and under conditions and cultural practices which approximate those typically used in commercial Agastache plant production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 24° C. and night temperatures ranged from 5° C. to 15° C. Plants were one year old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Sixth Edition, 2015, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Measurements represent averages for typical flowering plants.
