Benefits of technology

[0012]The new cultivar can be distinguished from all other Verbena plants of which we are aware. More specifically, the new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the ‘Homestead Purple’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States) in view of, inter alia, the display by the new cultivar of slightly smaller flowers, a smoother leaf texture, more flower fragrance, and greater hardiness during observations to date.

Problems solved by technology

Had the single plant of the new cultivar not been discovered and preserved it would have been lost to mankind.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]The chart used in the identification of colors is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart—2001 Edition), London, England. Color terminology in common terms sometimes is included as an aid to the reader. Such color terminology is to be accorded its customary dictionary significance. The description is based on the observation of typical specimens of the new cultivar during the month of August while growing outdoors in containers near West Grove, Pa., U.S.A. Such specimens had been asexually reproduced by the rooting of cuttings.[0019]Plant:[0020]Form.—Moderately vigorous, trailing and spreading.[0021]Growth habit.—Perennial.[0022]Height.—Approximately 24 cm on average.[0023]Width.—Approximately 50 cm on average.[0024]Strength.—Relatively strong.[0025]Branch length.—Commonly approximately 25 cm on average.[0026]Branch number.—Commonly approximately 18 main branches on average.[0027]Branch cross-section.—Commonly somewhat square.[0028]Branch thickness.—Common...

Abstract

A new and distinct Verbena plant is provided that is a newly found seedling of unknown parentage. Over an extended period of time attractive fragrant blossoms that are purple in coloration are produced. The growth habit is moderately vigorous and trailing and spreading. Attractive medium green foliage is formed that contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. The plant has been found to be hardy to U.S.D.A. Hardiness Zone No. 6 and also is hardy in Zone No. 5 with the use of protection. The plant can be grown to advantage to provide attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.

Description

[0001]Botanical / commercial classification: Verbena hybrida / Verbena Plant.[0002]Varietal denomination: cv. Radverb.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]A new and distinct highly ornamental perennial Verbena cultivar is provided.[0004]During 1995 an unusual Verbena plant of unknown parentage was discovered while growing in a residential setting at Rockford, Ill., U.S.A. An open-pollinated progeny of this plant was transplanted to a growing site at Greenfield, Wis., U.S.A. The new cultivar of the present invention is a selection of open-pollinated progeny of the plant being grown at Greenfield, Wis., U.S.A. The new cultivar was selected primarily in view of the appearance of the blossoms, foliage, and the manifest superior hardiness. Had the single plant of the new cultivar not been discovered and preserved it would have been lost to mankind. The new cultivar further has been grown and evaluated near West Grove, Pa., U.S.A.[0005]It was found that the new perennial Verbena plant displays the f...
