Description
Botanical designation: Echinacea purpurea X Rudbeckia hirta.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ET RDB 816’.
This application claims priority to a European Community Plant Breeders' Rights application filed on Oct. 1, 2021, application number 2021/2442. There have been no offers for sale anywhere in the world prior to the effective filing date of this Application and no accessibility to one of ordinary skill in the art could have been derived from the printed Plant Breeder's Rights documents.
The Inventors/Applicants assert 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 Inventors/Applicants. Inventors/Applicants claim 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.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Rudbeckia plant, botanically known as Echinacea purpurea X Rudbeckia hirta and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘ET RDB 816’.
The new Rudbeckia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Boijl, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact and freely branching interspecific Rudbeckia plants with large long-lasting and attractive inflorescences on strong peduncles.
The new Rudbeckia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventors in Boijl, The Netherlands in August, 2017 of a proprietary selection of Echinacea purpurea identified as code designation 17-1756, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with a proprietary selection of Rudbeckia hirta identified as code designation 567, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Rudbeckia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Boijl, The Netherlands in July, 2018.
Asexual reproduction of the new Rudbeckia by in vitro meristem culture in a controlled greenhouse environment in Boijl, The Netherlands since August, 2018 has shown that the unique features of this new Rudbeckia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Rudbeckia 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 ‘ET RDB 816’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘ET RDB 816’ as a new and distinct Rudbeckia plant:
-
- 1. Relatively compact, upright to somewhat outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Dense and bushy growth habit.
- 3 Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Large long-lasting single-type inflorescences with yellow to yellow orange and dark red bi-colored ray florets positioned above the foliar plane on strong peduncles.
- 5. Good postproduction and garden performance.
Plants of the new Rudbeckia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Rudbeckia are shorter than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Inflorescences of plants of the new Rudbeckia are larger and more uniformly mounding than inflorescences of plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Rudbeckia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Rudbeckia are more compact than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Rudbeckia have smaller leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Rudbeckia have smaller inflorescences than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Rudbeckia can be compared to Rudbeckia hirta X Rudbeckia hybrida ‘ET RDB 18-30’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 32,891. Plants of the new Rudbeckia differ primarily from plants of ‘ET RDB 18-30’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Rudbeckia are taller and narrower than plants of ‘ET RDB 18-30’.
- 2. Plants of the new Rudbeckia have fewer inflorescences per plant than plants of ‘ET RDB 18-30’.
- 3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Rudbeckia have more ray florets than inflorescences of plants of ‘ET RDB 18-30’.
- 4. Plants of the new Rudbeckia and ‘ET RDB 18-30’ differ in ray floret color as plants of the new Rudbeckia have yellow to yellow orange and dark red bi-colored ray florets whereas plants of ‘ET RDB 18-30’ have yellow orange and dark red bi-colored ray florets.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Rudbeckia 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 Rudbeckia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘ET RDB 816’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘ET RDB 816’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 2-liter containers during the summer in an outdoor nursery in Boijl, The Netherlands and under cultural conditions typical of commercial Rudbeckia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from about 16° C. to about 24° C. and night temperatures ranged from about 8° C. to about 15° C. Plants were one year old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
