Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Campanula plant named ‘Emerald’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; and light purple-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Campanula glomerata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Emerald’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Campanula, botanically known as Campanula glomerata and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Emerald’.
The new Campanula originated from an open-pollination of an unnamed selection of Campanula glomerata, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Campanula glomerata, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Campanula was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Oude Wetering, The Netherlands in 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by softwood cuttings in Oude Wetering, The Netherlands, since 2004, has shown that the unique features of this new Campanula are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Emerald 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 ‘Emerald’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Emerald’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Upright and compact plant habit.
    • 2. Basal branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Light purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Campanula differ from plants of the female parent selection primarily in plant size and flower color.
Plants of the new Campanula can be compared to plants of the Campanula cultivar Alba, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Oude Wetering, The Netherlands, plants of the new Campanula differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Alba in flower color as plants of the cultivar Alba had white-colored flowers.
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 Campanula.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Emerald’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Emerald’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Emerald’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the aforementioned photograph and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the summer in an outdoor nursery in Lisserbroek, The Netherlands for about two years. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 5° C. to 15° C.
