Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Grevillea Plant, referred to by its cultivar name, ‘Eternal Blaze’, is disclosed. The new variety forms attractive, red colored flowers. Silver colored foliage is formed. The vegetation is moderately vigorous, and the growth habit is prostrate and groundcover-like. The new variety is particularly well suited for providing distinctive ornamentation in the landscape.
Description
Botanical/commercial classification:
Latin name: Grevillea hybrid (Grevillea nivea x Grevillea variifolia).
Varietal denomination: ‘Eternal Blaze’.
The new variety of Grevillea plant, botanically known as Grevillea hybrid and also known as Grevillea nivea x Grevillea variifolia, of the present invention originated by cross pollination in Perth, Western Australia, wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was the Grevillea nivea ‘20091434’ variety (not patented). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the Grevillea variifolia ‘19920690’ variety (not patented).
The parentage can be summarized as follows:
‘20091434’ x ‘19920690’
‘20091434’ x ‘19920690’
The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross pollination during November 2011 in a controlled environment in Perth, Western Australia.
It was found that the new variety of Grevillea plant of the present invention possesses the following combination of characteristics:
-
- (a) forms red colored flowers,
- (b) exhibits silver colored foliage,
- (c) provides moderately vigorous vegetation, and
- (d) forms prostrate and groundcover-like growth habit.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry. It can be grown to advantage as ornamentation in parks, gardens, public areas, and in residential settings. Accordingly, the plant is particularly well suited for growing in the landscape.
The new variety can be readily distinguished from its ancestors. More specifically, the ‘20091434’ variety (i.e., the seed parent) displays less silver colored foliage compared to the new variety. The ‘19920690’ variety (i.e., the pollen parent) displays a less prostrate growth habit compared to the new variety. Moreover, the new variety can be readily distinguished from other similar non-parental varieties. For example, the ‘Poorinda Royal Mantel’ variety (non-patented) exhibits weaker red flower color compared to the new variety.
The new variety has been found to undergo asexual propagation in Perth, Western Australia by stem cuttings since November 2011. Asexual propagation by stem cuttings in Perth, Western Australia has shown that the characteristics of the new variety are homogeneous, stable, and strictly transmissible by such asexual propagation from one generation to another. Accordingly, the new variety undergoes asexual propagation in a true-to-type manner.
The new variety has been named ‘Eternal Blaze’.
The accompanying photograph shows, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this character, a typical specimen of the new variety. Colors in the photograph differ slightly from the color designations cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of the new variety. The plant was grown in a three-gallon container for two years in an outdoor nursery in Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Drawing—illustrates a specimen of the plant displaying the overall growth and flowering habit—side view.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.
