Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant named ‘Balsombabur’, characterized by its deep burgundy-colored inflorescences, medium green-colored foliage, and moderately vigorous, compact-upright growth habit, is disclosed.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Echinacea×hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Balsombabur’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant botanically known as Echinacea×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balsombabur’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Elburn, Ill. during October 2010. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Echinacea cultivars with a single inflorescence form having imbricate ray florets and a well-branched, compact growth habit.
The new Echinacea cultivar is the result of cross-pollination. The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar is the proprietary Echinacea×hybrida breeding selection coded E74-2, U.S. Pat. No. 7,982,110, characterized by its single-type, dark red colored ray florets having a light tip, medium green-colored foliage, and vigorous, upright growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar is from a bulk pollen mix of five proprietary Echinacea×hybrida breeding selections coded E74-1, E74-3, E74-4, E74-5, and E74-6, U.S. Pat. No. 7,982,110, characterized by their single-type, medium to dark shades of orange and red-orange colored ray florets, medium green-colored foliage, and vigorous, upright growth habits. The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during September 2011 in a controlled environment in Elburn, Ill.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by in vitro propagation since September 2011 in West Chicago, Ill. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Balsombabur’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant:
-
- 1. Deep burgundy-colored inflorescences;
- 2. Medium green-colored foliage; and
- 3. Moderately vigorous, compact-upright growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent and the possible male parents primarily in ray floret color and in having a more branched habit.
Of the many commercially available Echinacea cultivars, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is SOMBRERO Salsa Red ‘Balsomsed’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,105. However, in side by side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balsomsed’ in at least the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar are taller than plants of ‘Balsomsed’;
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar have larger leaves than plants of ‘Balsomsed’; and
- 3. Plants of the new cultivar have a ray floret color different from plants of ‘Balsomsed’.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical inflorescence and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Balsombabur’. The plants were transplanted from one-gallon containers and grown in a garden-type bed for 3 months in West Chicago, Ill.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2007 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined in August 2015 under natural light conditions in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe plants produced from in vitro plantlets and grown under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were transplanted from one-gallon containers and grown in a garden-type bed for 3 months in West Chicago, Ill. During this period the temperature ranged from a low of 41° F. (5° C.) and a high of 93° F. (34° C.). Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plants.
