Abstract

A new and distinct selection of Silver Flower which shall be referred hereinafter as Argyranthemum frutescens cultivar `Annabel`. Argyranthemum frutescens cultivar `Annabel` differs distinctively from other Argyranthemum frutescens plants by its unique combination of a large growth habit with yellow green foliage and large white blooms with distinct yellow centers that are produced profusely at a young age.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct selection of Argyranthemum frutesens (L.) Schultz-Bip, native to the Canary Islands and a member of the Compositae family. Argyranthemum frutescens cv. `Annabel` was a result of an uncontrolled breeding program. My selection was found among non clonal Argyranthemum frutescens plants and neither the seed nor pollen parent is known. I selected this seedling progeny in January 1993. My discovery was made at 100 Boundary Road, Narre Warren East, Victoria, Australia. Selection was based on the attributes of the large habit and large profuse flowers. My new plant has been asexually reproduced by cuttings since the discovery in 1993 at 100 Boundary Road, Narre Warren East, Victoria, Australia and later at Monrovia Nursery Company, 18331 E. Foothill Boulevard, Azusa, Calif. Had this chance seedling not been discovered and propagated, it may have been lost to mankind. It is unlikely these particular select and favorable attributes of this plant could be conveyed to progeny through sexual reproduction in the next generation. However, through extensive propagation by rooting of the plant it has been established that the novel exceptional characteristics of this plant are stable and reliably passed on the clonal specimens through asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Argyranthemum frutescens cv. `Annabel` was selected to replace an existing variety we grew named Argyranthemum frutescens cv. `Single White`. Cultivar `Single White` is a large grower achieving a height of 2 meters and 3 meters in width, with large 6-8 centimeter flowers. My selection cultivar `Annabel` has a smaller more compact habit than the original cultivar `Single White`. Cultivar `Annabel` also produces more profuse and smaller flowers which begin to bloom earlier in the season and on a much younger plant than the cultivar `Single White`. My selection cultivar `Annabel` has tolerated a minus 5 degrees Celsius which is equivalent to U.S.D.A. hardiness zone seven with no harm or damage. Winter protection is necessary from heavy frost.This application is co-pending with those of four other Argyranthemum selection. Both Gretel (U.S. Plant Patent Application 08/846,475) and Carmella (U.S. Plant Patent Application 08/846,477) differ significantly in their pink ray florets. Primrose Petite (U.S. Plant Patent Application 08/848,790) posseses yellow ray florets. The final Selection `Blanche` (U.S. Plant Patent Application 08/846,476) differs significantly in having a dense smaller overall growth habit of almost 30 c.m. Shorter and 8 cm less wide.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying photograph shows the plant in flower. The large bloom consisting of white ray florets and yellow disc florets are prominently displayed.
