Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant named ‘Balazmawite’ characterized by its white-colored flowers, medium green-colored foliage, good basal branching, and vigorous, spreading growth habit.
Description
Latin named of genus and species of plant claimed: Verbena×hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Balazmawite’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant botanically known as Verbena×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balazmawite’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Illinois during January 2003. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Verbena cultivars with unique flower colors and a vigorous trailing, spreading growth habit.
The new cultivar is an irradiation induced sport of ‘Balazsilma’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,651, characterized by its light violet-colored flowers, compact growth habit, narrow leaf shape, upper leaf surface that is grayed green in color with dark green-colored margins and venation, and lower leaf surface that is grayed purple in color. The irradiation occurred on Jan. 15, 2003. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor on May 20, 2003 in a controlled environment at Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since May 2003 at Arroyo Grande, Calif. and West Chicago, Ill. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Balazmawite’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant:
-
- 1. White-colored flowers;
- 2. Medium green-colored foliage,
- 3. Good basal branching; and
- 4. Vigorous, spreading growth habit.
Plants of the cultivar differ from plants of the parent primarily in flower color. Of the many commercially available Verbena cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is ‘Balazwhit’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,943. However, in side by side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balazwhit’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar are shorter than plants of ‘Balazwhit’; and
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar have a different flower color from plants of ‘Balazwhit’.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Balazmawite’. The plants were grown 10 cm pots for 13 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined on Apr. 25, 2005 between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. under natural light conditions, in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe plants produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and grown in a double polycarbonate-covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown at West Chicago, Ill. in 10 cm pots for 13 weeks utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 70° F. to 80° F. (21° C. to 26° C.) during the day and approximately 62° F. to 65° F. (17° C. to 18° C.) during the night. Greenhouse light levels of 5,000 to 8,000 footcandles were maintained during the day.
