Abstract

A new Ageratum plant particularly distinguished by its large blue flower, early flowering, nicely branched plant habit and vigorous growth.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Ageratum houstonianum.
Variety denomination: ‘Agetis’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Ageratum, botanically known as Ageratum houstonianum. The new cultivar is propagated from cuttings resulting from the cross of ‘Q343-2’ and ‘S570-2’. ‘Q343-2’ is a purple flowering Ageratum having a compact habit. ‘Q343-2’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. ‘S570-2’ is a blue and white flowering Ageratum having an upright habit. ‘S570-2’ is a selection from the variety ‘Southern Cross’.
Neither ‘Q342-2’ or ‘S570-2’ has been patented. As a result of this cross the present cultivar was created in 1997 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, in Gilroy, USA, in Angers, France and in Sarrians, France over a three-year period. The distinctive characteristics of this new Ageratum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction. It takes 9 to 11 weeks to produce a finished plant, depending on the temperature.
This new Ageratum plant is an annual in most climatical zones in the US, only in zones 9 and 10 is it a perennial plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new Ageratum plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new Ageratum. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant history was taken on 20 weeks old plants, blossomed under natural light and artificial light in a greenhouse. Color readings were taken in the greenhouse under ambient light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
