Abstract
A new and distinct Heuchera plant characterized by medium red brown leaves year round, very free flowering on medium to short flower stalks, soft red flowers on red peduncles, well branched, mounding habit, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heuchera sp.
Variety designation: ‘Cherry Cola’.
Cross Reference to: Heuchera ‘Root Beer’ applied for concurrently (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/932,453).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera and given the cultivar name of ‘Cherry Cola’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Cherry Cola’ originated from a cross between Heuchera 747-5, a proprietary non-commercial hybrid, as the seed parent, and Heuchera 766-5, a proprietary non-commercial hybrid, as the pollen parent.
Compared to the seed parent, Heuchera 747-5, the new cultivar has smaller leaf size and red brown rather than rose to olive leaf color.
Compared to the pollen parent, Heuchera 766-5, the new cultivar has red rather than light pink to white flowers and red brown rather than purple black leaves.
Compared to its sibling Heuchera ‘Root Beer’, the new cultivar has lighter colored leaves and red rather than creamy yellow flowers.
This new Heuchera is uniquely distinguished by:
-
- 1. medium red brown leaves year round,
- 2. very free flowering on medium to short flower stalks,
- 3. soft red flowers on red peduncles,
- 4. well branched, mounding habit, and
- 5. excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (tip cuttings and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by cuttings and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may change with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The photo shows a 2-year-old plant of Heuchera ‘Cherry Cola’ growing in the ground in full sun in the garden in May in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heuchera cultivar based on observations taken in April of 2-year-old specimens growing in the ground in the garden in full sun in Canby, Oreg. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 5th edition.
