Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Tradescantia plant named ‘Satin Doll’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; rapid growth rate; freely and uniform flowering; and purple violet-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Tradescantia andersoniana cultivar Satin Doll.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Tradescantia plant, botanically known as Tradescantia andersoniana, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Satin Doll’.
The new Tradescantia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Churt, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact and fast-growing Tradescantia cultivars.
The new Tradescantia originated from a pollination made by the Inventor in 1996 of two unidentified Tradescantia andersoniana selections, not patented. The new Tradescantia was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Churt, United Kingdom in 1998 from the resultant progeny of the pollination. The new Tradescantia was selected on the basis of its compact plant habit, rapid growth rate and purple violet-colored flowers.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by divisions taken at Churt, United Kingdom since 1998, has shown that the unique features of this new Tradescantia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Satin Doll 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 ‘Satin Doll’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Satin Doll’ as a new and distinct Tradescantia cultivar:
1. Upright and compact plant habit.
2. Rapid growth rate.
3. Freely and uniform flowering habit.
4. Purple violet-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Tradescantia are most similar to plants of the parent selections. Plants of the new Tradescantia differ from plants of the parent selections and other Tradescantia cultivars known to the Inventor in leaf color, plant height and flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 accurately describe the actual colors of the new Tradescantia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical open flower, flower buds and leaves of ‘Satin Doll’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Satin Doll’ grown in a ground bed.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants shown in the aforementioned photographs and used in the following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring in an outdoor nursery in 't Zand, The Netherlands. Plants were about one year old when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 5 to 20° C. and night temperatures ranged from 2 to 12° C. 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.
