Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of verbena plant as herein shown and described, named ‘Tort Peachy’, that is characterized by its green foliage with peach flowers on a prostrate branching plant; its fast rooting and vigorous growth.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of verbena, botanically known as Verbena hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Tort Peachy’.
The new cultivar is propagated asexually from vegetative cuttings in Gilroy, Calif. The new cultivar is propagated from a seedling selected from a population grown from a self-pollinated plant with the pedigree of: an unnamed plant (unpatented).
The new cultivar was created in Gilroy, Calif., and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings over a two-year period. The new cultivar has also been trialed at many locations in the United States and in Europe. The new cultivar has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and reproduces true to type through successive propagations, and this novelty is firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The new verbena plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 depicts inflorescences, buds and foliage.
FIG. 2 shows the overall mature plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Tort Peachy’. The data, which defines these characteristics, was collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Gilroy, Calif. The plant history was taken on 20-week-old plants, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken under ambient light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.).

Type: A spike composed of approximately 25 flowers.
Reproductive Organs
Filaments are fused with the corolla; four anthers with two pollen sacs per anther; produces a moderate amount of pollen which is light yellow RHS 11B; one stigma yellow-green RHS 144A; one style approximately 1 cm in length, slightly curved at the tip with a yellow-green color RHS 145A; one pistil; one ovary which is not deeply lobed.
Fruit: Does not freely set seed but occasionally produces four narrow nutlets approximately 4 mm long; colored grey-brown RHS 199D and enclosed in the dried calyx.
Disease and Insect Resistance
No susceptibility to diseases or insects noted to date.
Comparison with Parental Cultivar
The parental cultivar was a scarlet-flowered verbens, however there were numerous differences. ‘Tort Peachy’ has a more branched, upright spreading plant habit than the parental cultivar. ‘Tort Peachy’ also is more free flowering and flowers earlier than the parental cultivar.
