Description
Botanical designation: Heliotropium hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘WNHPAULAV’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heliotropium plant, botanically known as Heliotropium hybrida, commonly referred to as Heliotrope and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘WNHPAULAV’.
The new Heliotropium plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Bonsall, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new upright, freely-branching and freely-flowering Heliotropium plants with attractive leaves and flowers and good garden performance.
The new Heliotropium plant originated from an open-pollination in June, 2018 of a proprietary selection of Heliotropium hybrida identified as code number 16BR048, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Heliotropium hybrida as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Heliotropium plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Bonsall, Calif. on Aug. 2, 2018.
Asexual reproduction of the new Heliotropium plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in Bonsall, Calif., since Aug. 7, 2018 has shown that the unique features of this new Heliotropium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Heliotropium 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 ‘WNHPAULAV’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘WNHPAULAV’ as a new and distinct Heliotropium plant:
-
- 1. Upright to somewhat outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
- 3. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Relatively large inflorescences.
- 6. Fragrant purple-colored flowers with bright yellow-colored throats.
- 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Heliotropium can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Heliotropium differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Heliotropium are more upright than and not as outwardly spreading as plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Heliotropium have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Heliotropium can be compared to plants of Heliotropium amplexicaule X Heliotropium leiocarpum ‘USHTRPO303’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,681. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Heliotropium differ from plants of ‘USHTRPO303’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Heliotropium are more upright than and not as outwardly spreading as plants of ‘USHTRPO303’.
- 2. Plants of the new Heliotropium have stronger and sturdier lateral branches than plants of ‘USHTRPO303’.
- 3. Plants of the new Heliotropium have larger flowers than plants of ‘USHTRPO303’.
Plants of the new Heliotropium can also be compared to plants of Heliotropium arborescens ‘Atlanta’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,326. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Heliotropium differ from plants of ‘Atlanta’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Heliotropium have smaller inflorescences than plants of ‘Atlanta’.
- 2. Plants of the new Heliotropium have larger flowers than plants of ‘Atlanta’.
- 3. Plants of the new Heliotropium have purple-colored flowers with bright yellow-colored throats whereas plants of ‘Atlanta’ have violet-colored flowers with white-colored throats.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Heliotropium 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 Heliotropium plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘WNHPAULAV’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘WNHPAULAV’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the late summer and early autumn in 10.8-cm containers in a corrugated polycarbonate-covered greenhouse in Carlton, Mich. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Heliotropium production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 26° C., night temperatures averaged 20° C. and light levels averaged 9,290 footcandles. Plants were pinched three weeks after planting and were ten weeks from planting rooted cuttings when the photographs and description were taken.
