Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Astilbe plant named ‘Vision in Red’, characterized by its upright plant habit; rapid growth rate; dark green leaves; dark purple stems and petioles; very freely and uniformly flowering; strong flowering stems; and attractive purple-colored flowers.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Astilbe plant, botanically known as Astilbe chinensis, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Vision in Red’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Noorden, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Astilbe cultivars with purple-colored flowers.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1993 of the Astilbe chinensis cultivar ‘Pumila’, not patented, as the male or pollen parent, with the Astilbe chinensis cultivar ‘Purpurkerze’, not patented, as the female or seed parent.
The cultivar ‘Vision in Red’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Noorden, The Netherlands.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by divisions harvested at Noorden, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Astilbe are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Vision in Red’ 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 ‘Vision in Red’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Vision in Red’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Rapid growth rate.
3. Dark green leaves.
4. Dark purple stems and petioles.
5. Very freely and uniformly flowering.
6. Strong stems.
7. Attractive purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Astilbe differ from plants of the male parent, the cultivar ‘Pumila’, in leaf color, in addition, plants of the new Astilbe are have shorter and stronger (thicker) flowering stems than plants of the cultivar ‘Pumila’.
Plants of the new Astilbe are more compact, narrower and faster-growing than plants of the female parent, the cultivar ‘Purpurkerze’.
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. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Astilbe.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of the new Astilbe.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of the new Astilbe.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical leaf of the new Astilbe.
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. Plants used for the description were about one year-old and grown in 17-cm containers under outdoor production conditions which closely approximate commerical production conditions during the spring and summer in Noorden, The Netherlands.
