Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Fort Trailing Light Lavender’, characterized by its outwardly spreading to trailing growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; large lavender-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘FORT TRAILING LIGHT LAVENDER’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Fort Trailing Light Lavender’.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-branching Petunia cultivars with early and freely flowering habit, and unique and attractive flower color.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1999 in De Lier, The Netherlands of two unnamed proprietary selections of Petunia×hybrida, not patented. The new Petunia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in De Lier, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in De Lier, The Netherlands since 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Fort Trailing Light Lavender has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Fort Trailing Light Lavender’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fort Trailing Light Lavender’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia:
    • 1. Outwardly spreading to trailing growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Large lavender-colored flowers.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more outwardly spreading than and not as upright as plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia are broader than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are broader than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia have larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the Petunia cultivar Revolution Pastelpink No. 3, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,310. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Revolution Pastelpink No. 3 in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Revolution Pastelpink No. 3.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia had smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Revolution Pastelpink No. 3.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Petunia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Fort Trailing Light Lavender’ grown in a hanging basket container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in De Lier, The Netherlands, under commercial practice during the late winter and spring in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures averaging 18° C. and night temperatures averaging 18° C. Rooted young plants had been growing for about ten weeks when the photograph and description were taken. Plants used for the description were grown in 10.5-cm containers. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
