Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named `Weskleipur`, characterized by its numerous bright purple flowers; cascading and freely branching growth habit; relatively small dark green leaves; and good weather tolerance.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia axillaris, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Weskleipur.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany. The new Petunia originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1996 in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany, of a seedling selection of Petunia axillaris identified as Sylvana purple as the female, or seed, parent with a seedling selection of Petunia axillaris identified as Sylvana 95/306 as the male, or pollen, parent.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Weskleipur have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Weskleipur`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Weskleipur` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Numerous bright purple flowers.
2. Cascading and freely branching growth habit.
3. Relatively small dark green leaves.
4. Good weather tolerance, particularly tolerant to rain and wind.
Plants of the cultivar Weskleipur are similar in flower color to plants of the cultivar Revolution Purplepink, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,915. However in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany, plants of the cultivar Weskleipur differ from plants of the cultivar Revolution Purplepink in the following characteristics:
1. Leaves of plants of the new Petunia are smaller and darker green than leaves of plants of the cultivar Revolution Purplepink.
2. Plants of the new Petunia have smaller but more numerous flowers than plants of the cultivar Revolution Purplepink.
3. Plants of the new Petunia flower earlier than plants of the cultivar Revolution Purplepink.
4. Plants of the new Petunia exhibit better weather tolerance, particularly to rain and wind, than plants of the cultivar Revolution Purplepink.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a plants of the new Petunia planted in a window box.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of the new Petunia. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different than the actual colors due to light reflectance.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Twelve-week old plants grown in 12.5-cm containers used for the description were grown under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the summer in West Chicago, Ill.
