Abstract
A new cultivar of hybrid Phormium named ‘Taya’ that is characterized by its dark purple black foliage that is consistent throughout the leaf and its arching plant habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Phormium hybrid.
Cultivar designation: ‘Taya’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phormium of hybrid origin and referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Taya’. The new cultivar is grown for use as a foliage plant for landscape and container use.
The Inventor discovered the new cultivar in his nursery in Hamilton, New Zealand in summer of 2004. The new cultivar was selected in a trial bed that was planted with seedlings that were derived from open pollination between Phormium tenax ‘Purpurea’ (not patented), unnamed selections of Phormium cookianum and unnamed selections of Phormium tenax. The Inventor was evaluating the seedlings for distinct foliage coloration. The exact parentage is unknown.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by division in autumn of 2004 in Hamilton, New Zealand by the Inventor. The characteristics of this cultivar have been determined to be stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Taya’ as a new and unique cultivar of Phormium.
-
- 1. ‘Taya’ exhibits foliage that is deep purple black in color.
- 2. ‘Taya’ exhibits foliage coloration that is consistent throughout the leaf blade.
- 3. ‘Taya’ exhibits an arching plant habit.
In comparison to the Phormium tenax ‘Purpurea’, ‘Taya’ has darker purple black foliage with more consistent coloration throughout the leaf, and is more arching in habit.
Phormium cookianum has a similar in plant habit but the species has green foliage and known cultivars have variegated foliage.
The closest comparison plant is Phormium tenax ‘Merlot’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,228). ‘Taya’ differs from ‘Merlot’ in having darker colored foliage, in lacking a different colored margin, in being shorter in height with smaller, narrower leaves, and by exhibiting a more arching plant habit.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Phormium. The photographs in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 were taken of a two year-old plant of ‘Taya’ as grown outdoors in a 2.5-liter container in Hamilton, New Zealand.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized. The color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Phormium.
The following is a detailed description of two year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in 2.5-liter containers in Hamilton, New Zealand. The plants were grown under average day temperatures of 18 to 24° C. and average night temperatures of 4 to 10° C. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
