Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Armeria plant named ‘Vivid Dreams’, characterized by its relatively short, upright, dense and uniformly mounded plant habit; long narrow dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; inflorescences positioned on upright and rigid peduncles with reddish purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Armeria pseudarmeria.
Cultivar denomination: ‘VIVID DREAMS’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Armeria plant, commonly referred to as Thrift or Sea Pink, botanically known as Armeria pseudarmeria, commercially used as a garden plant, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Vivid Dreams’.
The new Armeria plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Armeria plants with uniform, dense and upright plant habit, upright and rigid peduncles, large globular inflorescences, attractive flower color and good garden performance.
The new Armeria plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventors in Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia in November, 2015 of Armeria pseudarmeria ‘Dream Weaver’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,600, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Armeria pseudarmeria identified as red selection #2, not patented, as the male, or seed, parent. The new Armeria plant was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia in October, 2016.
Asexual reproduction of the new Armeria plant since October, 2016 by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia has shown that the unique features of this new Armeria plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Armeria 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 ‘Vivid Dreams’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Vivid Dreams’ as a new and distinct Armeria plant:
-
- 1. Relatively short, upright, dense and uniformly mounded plant habit.
- 2. Long narrow dark green-colored leaves.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Inflorescences positioned on upright and rigid peduncles with reddish purple-colored flowers.
- 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Armeria can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Dream Weaver’. Plants of the new Armeria differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flower color as plants of the new Armeria have reddish purple-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Dream Weaver’ have deep rose pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Armeria can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Armeria differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower color as plants of the new Armeria have reddish purple-colored flowers whereas plants of the male parent selection have red-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Armeria have shorter peduncles than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Armeria can be compared to plants of Armeria pseudarmeria ‘Sweet Dreams’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,612. Plants of the new Armeria differ primarily from plants of ‘Sweet Dreams’ in flower color as plants of the new Armeria have darker reddish purple-colored flowers than plants of ‘Sweet Dreams’.
Plants of the new Armeria can also be compared to plants of Armeria pseudarmeria ‘Dreamland’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,601. Plants of the new Armeria differ primarily from plants of ‘Dreamland’ in flower color as plants of the new Armeria have reddish purple-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Dreamland’ have dark salmon-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Armeria 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 Armeria plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Vivid Dreams’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Vivid Dreams’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer in outdoor nurseries in Elburn, Ill. and Fort Worth, Tex. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Armeria production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 32° C. to 40° C. and night temperatures ranged from 21° C. to 35° C. Plants were six months old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
