Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Veronica plant named ‘Dovercanb’, characterized by its relatively compact and upright plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit and moderate growth rate; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit on first year's growth; long and dense inflorescences with numerous violet-colored flowers; and good performance as a container and garden plant.
Description
Botanical designation: Veronica hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DOVERCANB’.
An European Community Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Applicant/Assignee, Dümmen Group B.V. of De Lier, The Netherlands on Nov. 4, 2022, application number 2022/2476. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Veronica plant, botanically known as Veronica hybrida, typically grown as a container or garden plant and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Dovercanb’.
The new Veronica plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Veronica plants with attractive flowers arranged on long inflorescences and good container and garden performance.
The new Veronica plant originated from an open-pollination in April, 2017 of a proprietary selection of Veronica hybrida identified as code number VE16-000031-004, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown proprietary selection of Veronica hybrida as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Veronica plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in June, 2018.
Asexual reproduction of the new Veronica plant by terminal stem cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, since June, 2018 has shown that the unique features of this new Veronica plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Veronica 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 ‘Dovercanb’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dovercanb’ as a new and distinct Veronica plant:
-
- 1. Relatively compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit and moderate growth rate.
- 3. Freely basal branching habit.
- 4. Freely flowering habit on first year's growth.
- 5. Long and dense inflorescences with numerous violet-colored flowers.
- 6. Good performance as a container and garden plant.
Plants of the new Veronica differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection primarily in flower color as plants of the new Veronica have violet-colored flowers whereas plants of the female parent selection have purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Veronica can be compared to plants of Veronica longifolia ‘Alllove’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,478. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Veronica differ primarily from plants of ‘Alllove’ in flower color as plants of the new Veronica have violet-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Alllove’ have red purple-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Veronica are more compact than plants of ‘Alllove’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the Veronica 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 Veronica plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Dovercanb’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) comprises close-up views of a typical inflorescence and the upper and lower surfaces of typical leaves of ‘Dovercanb’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown in 17-cm containers during the summer in a glass-covered greenhouse in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Veronica production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 21 C and night temperatures averaged 15 C. Plants were 16 weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fifth Edition, except where general tetms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
