Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Echinacea plant having a compact growth habit and numerous, wine red colored blooms.

Description

Botanical classification: Echinacea purpurea.
Varietal denomination: ‘BullEchipur 1201’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Echinaces plant known by the varietal name ‘BullEchipur 1201’. The new variety was discovered in August of 2017 in Gönnebeck, Germany as the result of a planned breeding program with the purposes of providing Echinaces plants with a compact growth habit, increased flowers per plant, unique flower colors, clean foliage, large blooms, a faster crop time, and more uniformity when compared to prior Echinaces plants. The new variety is the result of a cross between an unpatented Echinacea purpurea variety having an internal breeder's reference of “BEP 27-2014” (female parent) and an unpatented Echinacea purpurea variety having an internal breeder's reference of “BEP 98-2014” (male parent) from the breeder's own collection. The new variety was first asexually reproduced via in-vitro tissue culture cuttings in Gönnebek, Germany in September of 2017. The new variety is similar to its parental varieties in botanical classification, but exhibits a different flower color, more compact growth habit, more flowers per plant, and more attractive foliage than both of its parental varieties. Further, ‘BullEchipur 1201’ exhibits larger flowers than its male parent.
When ‘BullEchipur 1201’ is compared to Echinacea purpurea variety named ‘PAS702917’ (unpatented, marketed as “PowWow® Wild Berry”), ‘BullEchipur 1201’ is similar to ‘PAS702917’ in botanical classification, but ‘BullEchipur 1201’ exhibits a different flower color with more flowers per plant, more compact and uniform growth with increased branching, and more healthy, dark green foliage that distinguish it from ‘PAS702917’. Further, the following characteristics distinguish ‘BullEchipur 1201’ when generally compared to other Echinaces varieties known to the breeder:
    • Wine red flower color;
    • High flower number per plant;
    • A compact and uniform growth habit;
    • High branching;
    • Fast crop time; and
    • Healthy, dark green foliage.
      The new variety has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive asexual propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the new variety at 22 weeks of age, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
FIG. 1 shows an entire plant of the new variety;
FIG. 2 shows a close-up view of a bloom of the new variety; and
FIG. 3 shows an entire plant of the new variety.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new variety as the result of asexual reproductions performed via in vitro tissue culture cuttings carried out in Gönnebeck, Germany. Plants of the new variety were grown outdoors in 19 cm (3 liter) pots under normal field production conditions, and the color readings and measurements were observed outdoors under natural light on 22 week old plants in Gönnebeck, Germany. Color references are primarily to The 2015 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London, Sixth Edition, except where terms of ordinary significance are used.
