Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides) plant named ‘UF20-73-3’, selected for having a combination of desirable traits that make it well-suited for good performance as an annual plant in the summer landscape. ‘UF20-73-3’ was selected for its consistent foliage color patterning and for its fast growth rate and vigor in the greenhouse and landscape. ‘UF20-73-3’ has foliage that is predominantly deep purple with consistent deep pink centers, and well-defined bright lime green accents at the leaf margin. ‘UF20-73-3’ is exceptional because it maintains a strong pink center and bright leaf margins in a broad range of environmental conditions. It is a vigorous plant that can easily grow to four feet tall in the landscape in one season, maintaining similar color in both sun and shade. It is upright, spreading, highly branched and grows wider than it does tall.
Description
Genus and species: Coleus scutellarioides.
Cultivar denomination: ‘UF20-73-3’.
N/A.
N/A.
The invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Coleus plant named ‘UF20-73-3’. The new cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ originated from an open pollination conducted in May-November 2017 in Citra, Fla., between the female Coleus plant ‘UF19-86-1’ (unpatented) and an unknown male Coleus plant. A single seedling was chosen in May 2020 for further asexual propagation in Gainesville, Fla.
The new cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ has been reproduced asexually for over 18 months through vegetative meristem tip cuttings and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations. ‘UF20-73-3’ was first propagated asexually by vegetative meristem tip cuttings in May 2020 in Gainesville, Fla., and has remained true-to-type since that time.
Plant Breeder's Rights for the new cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ have not been applied for, and ‘UF20-73-3’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing date of this application.
When compared to the female parent ‘UF19-86-1’, the new cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ has larger leaves that are longer than they are wide. Leaves of ‘UF20-73-3’ are colored predominantly deep purple with bright lime green margins, prominent deep pink centers and mid-veins and cream-colored leaf bases. In contrast, ‘UF19-86-1’ has smaller leaves that are equally as long as they are wide and are colored dark maroon with dark green margins and only small traces of pink color on older leaves. ‘UF20-73-3’ has a vigorous, upright and spreading habit with more lateral branching, whereas ‘UF19-86-1’ is less vigorous, and more upright in habit with less lateral branching.
The new cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ was selected for its consistent foliage color patterning, and for its fast growth rate and vigor in the greenhouse and landscape. ‘UF20-73-3’ has foliage that is predominantly colored deep purple with consistent pink centers, and well-defined lime green leaf margins. Normally this color combination fades in either full sun (predominantly maroon-brown) or full shade (predominantly green), with the consistent loss of pink color. ‘UF20-73-3’ is exceptional because it maintains a strong pink center and bright colored leaf margin in a broad range of environmental conditions. It is a vigorous cultivar that can easily grow to four feet tall in the landscape, maintaining similar color in both sun and shade. Vegetative cuttings of ‘UF20-73-3’ form roots in one week and consistently produce vivid pink colored foliage in the greenhouse.
The new cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, light intensity, fertilization, irrigation, and application of plant growth regulators without any change in genotype.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of ‘UF20-73-3’ when grown under normal horticultural practices in Gainesville, Fla.: ‘UF20-73-3’ has the combination of vigorous, upright and spreading growth habit, excellent heat tolerance, and consistent multi-colored leaves that are significantly different than other Coleus plants; it has superior stability in foliage color in both sun and shade conditions, maintaining stable color in all conditions; it has excellent lateral branching, making it suitable for propagators and producers; and ‘UF20-73-3’ has been observed to have long-season performance in landscape trials in Gainesville, Fla.
This new Coleus cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ is illustrated by the accompanying photographs, which show the plant's form and foliage. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. FIGS. 2-5 were taken from plants grown ten weeks from unrooted cuttings in February-April 2022 in a glass-covered greenhouse in Gainesville, Fla.
Foliage color was determined under full sun conditions in the middle of the day in a glass-covered greenhouse. Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), 2007 5th Edition. Coleus leaves are rarely one solid color but encompass hues, shades and tints, and color patterns differ from one genotype to another due to varying levels of variegation. The following detailed description of ‘UF20-73-3’ was obtained using ten-week-old plants grown from unrooted cuttings in February-April 2022 in a glass-covered greenhouse in Gainesville, Fla. The plants were propagated in mist for ten days after cuttings were stuck, then grown in one-gallon pots for approximately eight and a half additional weeks.

Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (Bunyaviridae) has also been observed in plants confined in greenhouses with mixed crops (peppers) infected with Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). The most common pathogen of this species in the U.S. is downy mildew (Perononspora lamii). This pathogen has been observed in stock materials grown closely together in cooler growing seasons.
When the new cultivar ‘UF20-73-3’ is compared to the commercial cultivar ‘UF17-50-5’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 32,980, commercial name “Mainstreet Alligator Alley”), ‘UF20-73-3’ has leaves with a predominately colored deep purple with consistent pink centers, and well-defined lime green coloration along the leaf margins, whereas ‘UF17-50-5’ has a narrower purplish red center coloration and a broader yellow green coloration along the leaf margins.
