Abstract
A new cultivar of Echinacea plant named ‘PIN449’ that is characterized by its inflorescences with ray florets that are light red-purple in color, its strong stems that do not lodge, and its compact, short plant habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Echinacea hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘PIN449’.
This application claims priority to European Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) Plant Breeder's Rights Application No. 2020/2514 filed on Oct. 13, 2020, under 35 U.S.C. 119(f), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea of hybrid origin and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘PIN449’. ‘PIN449’ represents a new cultivar of coneflower, an herbaceous perennial grown for landscape use.
The new cultivar arose from an ongoing breeding program by the Inventor in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands with the objective of selecting new cultivars of Echinacea with strong plant habits and unique inflorescence colors. The new cultivar was selected as a unique seedling in a trial field by the Inventor in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands in July of 2018. The parentage of ‘PIN449’ is therefore unknown.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by tissue culture using meristematic tissue in Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands in January of 2019 under the direction of the Inventor. Asexual propagation by tissue culture has determined that the characteristics of this cultivar have been determined to be stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘PIN449’ as a unique cultivar of Echinacea.
-
- 1. ‘PIN449’ exhibits inflorescences with ray florets that are light red-purple in color.
- 2. ‘PIN449’ exhibits strong stems that do not lodge.
- 3. ‘PIN449’ exhibits a compact, short plant habit.
The new cultivar can be most closely compared to the cultivars ‘Ech391’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,410) and ‘Hope’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,194). ‘Ech391’ and ‘Hope’ are both similar to ‘PIN449’ in inflorescence shape. ‘Ech391’ differs from ‘PIN449’ in having a slightly lower plant height, inflorescences that are larger in diameter, and ray florets that are yellow in color with bases that are red-purple in color. ‘Hope’ differs from ‘PIN449’ in having a taller plant height, inflorescences that are larger in diameter, and ray florets that are lighter red-purple in color with bases that are lighter red-purple in color.
The plants in the accompanying photographs depict the characteristics of two-year-old plant of ‘PIN449’ as grown in a 19-cm container in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of ‘PIN449’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of an inflorescence of ‘PIN449’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘PIN449’.
The 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 Echinacea.
The plants in the accompanying photographs depict the characteristics of two-year-old plants of ‘PIN449’ as grown in 19-cm containers in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2015 Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
