Abstract

A new and distinct early flowering Sutera plant with large white colored flowers and vigorous growth.

Description

Botanical classification: Sutera cordata.
Varietal denomination: ‘Wesbamega’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Sutera plant known by the varietal name ‘Wesbamega’. The new variety was discovered in 2001 in a selected breeding program in Südlohn, Germany designed to produce a new variety of Sutera with large, white flowers. The new variety was selected from a cross of proprietary unpatented breeding plants Bacopa FA9 (female parent) and Bacopa FA051 (male parent). The new variety has shorter internodes, more uniform petal margins, and improved rooting from cuttings than the female parent with similar leaves, flower color, and flower size. Compared to the male parent, the new variety has larger flowers, larger leaves, darker leaf color, and more branching with similar flower color. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in 2000 by cuttings in Südlohn, Germany. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Südlohn and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The following traits in combination distinguish ‘Wesbamega’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Very big flowers.
2. Abundance of flowers.
3. Symmetrical growth, short internodes.
4. Cascading but rounded plant habit, well branched.
5. Very vigorous growth.
6. Attractive clear white colored blossoms with an orange throat.
7. Lateral branches with an optimal diameter for cuttings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the plant; and
FIG. 2 is a close up view of the blooms of the new plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions by cuttings carried out in Südlohn, Germany. Flowering plants were produced in 12-15 weeks without growth retardants and were grown in 12 cm containers with pinching 3-4 weeks after potting. Plants for the description were 20 weeks old, grown in a greenhouse at 20-25° C. daytime temperature and at 16-18° C. night temperature with light levels of 3,000-50,000 lux. The color readings were taken on a plant outdoors and in a greenhouse under natural light. Color references are primarily to the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
Compared to the variety ‘Wesbawei’ (Co-pending U.S. Plant patent Application Ser. No. 10/037,838), the new variety has larger flowers, shorter internodes, smaller leaves, shorter peduncles, and more orange color of the flower throat. Compared to the unpatented variety ‘Sutera Nova’, the new variety has larger flowers, shorter internodes, smaller leaves, shorter petioles, deeper orange color of the flower throat, and larger flower buds.
