Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Lavender plant named ‘Madrid Pink Improved’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching, dense and bushy plant form; early flowering habit; and purple-colored flower corollas with showy light pink-colored terminal flower bracts.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Lavandula stoechas L. cultivar Madrid Pink Improved.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lavender plant, botanically known as Lavandula stoechas L., and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Madrid Pink Improved’.
The new Lavender is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Kulnura, New South Wales, Australia. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Lavender cultivars with large and attractive flowers.
The new Lavender originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor of the Lavandula stoechas L. cultivar Bella Pink, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,599, as the female, or seed, parent with the Lavandula stoechas L. cultivar Bee Dazzle, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lavender was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Kulnura, New South Wales, Australia in 1997.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Kulnura, New South Wales, Australia, since 1997, has shown that the unique features of this new Lavender are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Madrid Pink Improved have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Madrid Pink Improved’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Madrid Pink Improved’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching, dense and bushy plant form.
3. Early flowering habit.
4. Purple-colored flowers with showy light pink-colored terminal flower bracts.
Plants of the new Lavender differ from plants of the parent cultivars and other known Lavender cultivars primarily in flower and terminal bract color, terminal bract size, inflorescence size and peduncle length.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Lavender.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Madrid Pink Improved’ grown in a one-gallon container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical developing inflorescences of ‘Madrid Pink Improved’ and the upper and lower surfaces of typical leaves.
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. Plants were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the winter and spring in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse in Lompoc, Calif. Plants used for this description were grown for about 24 weeks in 1-gallon containers and were pinched once. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18 to 24° C., night temperatures ranged from 16 to 18° C., and light levels ranged from 4,000 to 8,000 foot-candles.
