Description

Botanical designation: Salvia mohavensis x Salvia clevelandii.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MSWNBoyton1’.
STATEMENT REGARDING PRIOR DISCLOSURES BY INVENTOR/APPLICANT
The Inventor/Applicant asserts 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/Applicant. Inventor/Applicant claims 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 Salvia plant, botanically known as Salvia mohavensis x Salvia clevelandii and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘MSWNBoyton1’.
The new Salvia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Tucson, Ariz. The objective of the breeding program is to create new long-lived Salvia plants with high temperature tolerance, tolerance to dry and wet conditions and long flowering season.
The new Salvia plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventor in May, 2012 of an unnamed selection of Salvia mohavensis, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed selection of Salvia clevelandii, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Salvia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Tucson, Ariz. in May, 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new Salvia plant by softwood vegetative cuttings in Tucson, Ariz. since May, 2017, has shown that the unique features of this new Salvia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Salvia have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘MSWNBoyton1’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MSWNBoyton1’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Salvia:
    • 1. Relatively compact, upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit and vigorous growth habit; bushy appearance.
    • 3. Greyish olive green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Relatively large inflorescences with pale blue-colored flowers.
    • 5. Long flowering period.
    • 6. Relatively tolerant to high temperatures and dry or wet conditions.
Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Salvia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Salvia have shorter internodes and are denser than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Salvia have larger inflorescences than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Salvia are more tolerant to low temperature and wet conditions than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Salvia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Salvia have larger inflorescences than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Salvia are lighter blue in color than flowers of plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Salvia are more tolerant to low temperature and wet conditions than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of an unnamed selection of Salvia greggii known to the Inventor, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Salvia differed from plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia greggii in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Salvia have greyish olive green-colored leaves whereas plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia greggii have green-colored leaves.
    • 2. Plants of the new Salvia have larger inflorescences than plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia greggii.
    • 3. Plants of the new Salvia have pale blue-colored flowers whereas plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia greggii have pinkish red-colored flowers.
    • 4. Plants of the new Salvia are more tolerant to high temperatures than plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia greggii.
Plants of the new Salvia can also be compared to plants of an unnamed selection of Salvia chamaedryiodes known to the Inventor, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Salvia differed from plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia chamedryiodes in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Salvia are more upright than and not as low-growing as plans of the unnamed selection of Salvia chamaedryiodes.
    • 2. Plants of the new Salvia have greyish olive green-colored leaves whereas plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia chamaedryiodes have silvery green-colored leaves.
    • 3. Plants of the new Salvia have larger inflorescences than plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia chamaedryiodes.
    • 4. Plants of the new Salvia are more tolerant to wet conditions than plants of the unnamed selection of Salvia chamaedryiodes.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Salvia 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 Salvia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1) comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘MSWNBoyton1’ grown in container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2) is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘MSWNBoyton1’.
