Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘Pencand’ that is characterized by a trailing, compact, mounding habit, dense upright spikes of fragrant white to pink flowers with yellow centers, and light green leaves. In combination these characteristics set ‘Pencand’ apart from all other existing varieties of Nemesia known to the inventor.

Description

Genus/species: Nemesia hybrid.
Denomination: ‘Pencand’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant known botanically as Nemesia hybrid and that will be referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘Pencand’.
The new Nemesia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Netherwent, Wales. The breeding program objectives were to improve upon well-known varieties such as Nemesia denticulata ‘Confetti’ (unpatented), Nemesia caerulea ‘Innocence’ (unpatented), Nemesia caerulea ‘Joan Wilder’ (unpatented), Nemesia caerulea ‘Woodcote’ (unpatented), and Nemesia caerulea ‘Elliott's’ (unpatented). The goals of the breeding program were to improve on plant habit by breeding plants that were more compact, with stiff, upright flower spikes, increase the size of the flower and the length of flowering time, improve the color range by producing clear colors, and produce plants that root readily and consistently from vegetative stem cuttings.
The new Nemesia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1996 of an unnamed and unpatented Nemesia hybrid, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed and unpatented Nemesia hybrid, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar ‘Pencand’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within the progeny from this cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Netherwent, Wales, in 1996.
‘Pencand’ is distinguishable from the parent plants by white to pink flowers with yellow center, a trailing, compact, mounding habit, and dense, upright fragrant flower spikes. The leaves are lanceolate in shape and exhibit thicker tissue than other Nemesia known to the inventor.
‘Pencand’ was first asexually propagated by the Inventor in 1997 in a cultivated area or Netherwent, Wales using vegetative stem cuttings and has shown that the unique features of this new Nemesia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of ‘Pencand’. In combinaton these traits set the new cultivar apart from all other existing varieties of Nemesia known to the inventor. ‘Pencand’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
1. Nemesia ‘Pencand’ exhibits a trailing, mounding and compact habit.
2. Each individual plant of Nemesia ‘Pencand’ exhibits fragrant flowers that are white to pink in color with yellow centers.
3. Nemesia ‘Pencand’ exhibits dense upright flower spikes.
4. Nemesia ‘Pencand’ is floriferous and exhibits large, repeat-flowering heads.
5. Nemesia ‘Pencand’ is hardy to minus 5° Centigrade.
6. Nemesia ‘Pencand’ can be used in beds, borders and window boxes.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying color drawings illustrate the overall appearance of the new Nemesia cultivar ‘Pencand’ showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the drawings may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new variety ‘Pencand’. The plants are 4-months-old, in 10-centimeter containers and were grown under greenhouse conditions in San Diego, Calif.
The drawing on sheet 1 illustrates the entire plant's, habit and flowers from a side perspective.
The drawing on sheet 2 is a close-up view of the flower. The drawings were made using conventional photographic techniques. Although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance, they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following is a detailed description of the Nemesia plant named ‘Pencand’. Data was collected in Arroyo Grande, Calif. from 4-month-old plants grown in 10-centimeter containers under greenhouse conditions.

The color determinations are in accordance with The 2001 Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to other Nemesia plants.
