Abstract

A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Colorshift’ is disclosed, characterized by unique “colorshifts” of the rosette, dependent upon ambient conditions caused by seasonal changes, not observed in comparable Echeverias. The new variety exhibits variability of rosette color that can include violet, silvered mauve, silvered aqua and their intermediate colors. The cultivar ‘Colorshift’ also exhibits light margin colors, strongly accenting the multi-hued violet rosette. In addition, the new cultivar ‘Colorshift’ produces a display of bright, vermillion flowers, accenting the violet rosette, a contrast not exhibited by comparable Echeveria varieties. The new variety exhibits a robust growth habit, enabling faster production, than most comparable Echeveria varieties.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Echeveria hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘COLORSHIFT’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new Echeveria cultivar is the product of a planned breeding program. The new variety originated from a cross pollination of the proprietary, unpatented, seed parent, Echeveria ‘L1-Y13’ with the pollen parent an unpatented, proprietary variety of Echeveria referred to as ‘A5-S17.’ The cross pollination was made during March of 2010 in Vista, Calif., at a commercial greenhouse. The new cultivar ‘Colorshift’ was discovered by the inventor, Renee O'Connell, in February of 2011, in Vista, Calif. at the same commercial greenhouse.
The seed parent is the, unpatented, proprietary variety referred to as Echeveria ‘L1-Y13’. The pollen parent is the unpatented, propriety variety referred to as Echeveria ‘A5-S17’. The new variety was discovered in February of 2011 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2010 crossing, in a commercial greenhouse in Vista, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Colorshift’ was first performed in Vista, Calif., at a commercial greenhouse, by vegetative cuttings in April of 2011. ‘Colorshift’ has since produced multiple generations and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘COLORSHIFT’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘COLORSHIFT’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘COLORSHIFT’ as a new and distinct Echeveria cultivar:
    • 1. Exhibits color change of the rosette, in reaction to changes in ambient conditions, such as changes in light intensity, temperature, and day length, not found in comparable Echeveria.
    • 2. Produces hyaline margins, contrasting dramatically with the variable rosette colors, a characteristic not found in comparable Echeveria.
    • 3. Floriferous plants, producing inflorescences of large, bright vermillion flowers, not observed with comparable Echeveria.
    • 4. Much more easily and rapidly propagated due to robust growth.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘COLORSHIFT’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Echeveria ‘L1-Y13’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘COLORSHIFT’ differ in the following;
    • 1. Exhibit a unique color change as a reaction to changes in ambient environment, not exhibited by the seed parent.
    • 2. More robust, faster growing.
    • 3. Manifest a hyaline margin that contrasts dramatically with the rosette, whereas the seed parent does not exhibit this quality.
    • 4. The flowers of the new cultivar are much larger than those of the seed parent and have a “glowing” quality that is not exemplified by the seed parent.
    • 5. Greater resistance to diseases and pests.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘COLORSHIFT’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Echeveria ‘A5-S17’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘COLORSHIFT’ differ in the following;
    • 1. Exhibits more undulating, brighter colored leaf margins than the pollen parent.
    • 2. Exhibits a unique color change as a reaction to changes in ambient environment, not exhibited by the pollen parent.
    • 3. Flowers of the new cultivar are more vivid in color than those of the pollen parent.
    • 4. Greater resistance to diseases and pests.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘COLORSHIFT’ are comparable to the unpatented, commercial variety Echeveria ‘Afterglow’. The two Echeveria varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘COLORSHIFT’ differs in the following:
    • 1. Forms a more concentric rosette than Echeveria ‘Afterglow’, producing a more uniform, aesthetic rosette plant form.
    • 2. Exhibits color change of the rosette, not observed in Echeveria ‘Afterglow’.
    • 3. Manifests hyaline margins in contrast to rosettes, a quality not observed with Echeveria ‘Afterglow’.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘COLORSHIFT’ can also be comparable to the unpatented commercial variety Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’. The two Echeveria varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘COLORSHIFT’ differs in the following:
    • 1. Exhibits much more concentric rosettes.
    • 2. Exhibits color change of the rosette, not observed in Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’.
    • 3. Much more resistant to the pathogen Rhizoctonia,
    • 4. Produces more vividly colored and larger flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs in FIG. 1 through FIG. 6 illustrate in full color typical plants of ‘COLORSHIFT’ grown in a greenhouse in Vista, Calif. These photographs exhibit some of the variability of the cultivar due to ambient changes in environment. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and equipment. While the colors in these photographs may display variances of color as compared to the living cultivar, due to LRV (light reflectance value), they are as accurate as possible using conventional photographic techniques. Colors in the photographs may appear to differ slightly from the color values cited in the botanical description, which accurately describe the colors of the new Echeveria plant. All photographs provided by the breeder.
