Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named ‘Sunny Diana’, characterized by its upright plant habit; freely branching growth habit; freely flowering habit; and pale yellow-colored ray florets.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DESIGNATION
Osteospermum ecklonis cultivar Sunny Diana.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant, botanically known as Osteospermum ecklonis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunny Diana’.
The new Osteospermum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Odense, Denmark. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Osteospermum cultivars with attractive ray and disc floret colors.
The new Osteospermum originated from a cross made by the Inventor in May, 1997 of a proprietary selection of Osteospermum ecklonis identified as code number 3.44.97, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Osteospermum ecklonis identified as code number 1.44.92, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Osteospermum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross grown in a controlled environment in Odense, Denmark in June, 2000.
Asexual reproduction of the new Osteospermum by terminal vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Odense, Denmark in June, 2000. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Osteospermum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Sunny Diana has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Sunny Diana’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Diana’ as a new and distinct Osteospermum:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Freely branching growth habit.
3. Freely flowering habit.
4. Pale yellow-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Osteospermum differ from plants of the parents primarily in ray floret color.
Plants of the new Osteospermum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Seidacre, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/996,362. However, plants of the new Osteospermum are more upright, have larger leaves, have larger inflorescences, and have lighter colored ray florets than plants of the cultivar Seidacre.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Osteospermum showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Osteospermum.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunny Diana’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences and leaves of ‘Sunny Diana’. The colors in the photograph on the second sheet are closer to the actual colors than the colors in the photograph on the first sheet.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Odense, Denmark, in a glass-covered greenhouse ruing the late spring and early summer with day and night temperatures averaging 20° C. and light levels about 5,000 lux. After planting rooted cuttings, plants were grown for about 13 to 14 weeks in 12-cm containers with one plant per container. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
