Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Salvia plant named ‘WNSVRDP23’, characterized by its relatively compact, upright to somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form; strong and sturdy lateral branches; dark green-colored leaves; early and freely flowering habit; upright inflorescences with deep dark purple-colored flowers and darker-colored calyces; and excellent container and garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Salvia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘WNSVRDP23’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Salvia plant, botanically known as Salvia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘WNSVRDP23’.
The new Salvia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Bonsall, California. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact and uniform Salvia plants with attractive leaves and flowers and good garden performance.
The new Salvia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor on Aug. 24, 2018 of a proprietary selection of Salvia hybrida identified as code number 16SB116-04, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Salvia hybrida identified as code number 17SB159-03, 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 in a controlled greenhouse environment in Bonsall, California on Aug. 12, 2019.
Asexual reproduction of the new Salvia plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in Bonsall, California, since Aug. 22, 2019 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 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 ‘WNSVRDP23’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘WNSVRDP23’ as a new and distinct Salvia plant:
    • 1. Relatively compact, upright to somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
    • 3. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form.
    • 4. Strong and sturdy lateral branches.
    • 5. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 6. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 7. Upright inflorescences with deep dark purple-colored flowers and darker-colored calyces.
    • 8. Excellent container and garden performance.
Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Salvia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Salvia are shorter than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Salvia are more freely branching and denser than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Salvia have stronger and sturdier lateral branches than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 4. Plants of the new Salvia are more tolerant to full sunlight 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 primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Salvia are shorter than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Salvia are more tolerant to full sunlight conditions than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of Salvia hybrida ‘Amistad’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,578. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Salvia differ from plants of ‘Amistad’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Salvia are shorter and more upright than plants of ‘Amistad’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Salvia are more freely branching and denser than plants of ‘Amistad’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Salvia have stronger and sturdier lateral branches than plants of ‘Amistad’.
    • 4. Leaves of plants of the new Salvia are broader and darker green in color than leaves of plants of ‘Amistad’.
Plants of the new Salvia can also be compared to plants of Salvia guaranitica ‘Black and Blue’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Salvia differ from plants of ‘Black and Blue’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Salvia are more compact than plants of ‘Black and Blue’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Salvia are denser than and not as open as plants of ‘Black and Blue’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Salvia have stronger and sturdier lateral branches than plants of ‘Black and Blue’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Salvia flower earlier than plants of ‘Black and Blue’.
    • 5. Flowers of plants of the new Salvia are deep dark purple in color whereas flowers of plants of ‘Black and Blue’ are blue in color.
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 colors of the new Salvia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘WNSVRDP23’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘WNSVRDP23’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the summer in 740-ml containers in an acrylic-covered greenhouse in Carlton, Michigan and under cultural practices typical of commercial Salvia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18 C to 32 C and night temperatures ranged from 18 C to 24 C. Plants were pinched one time seven weeks after planting rooted young plants; and plants were ten weeks from planting rooted cuttings when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
