ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of carnation plant which was discovered by me as a natural branch mutation in a controlled planting of ‘CFPC Debutante’. The varietal denominator of the new variety is ‘CFPC Selena’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the novel characteristics possessed by the new variety which distinguishes it is bright crimson flowers. When grown under glass in
4¼ inch pots in Salinas, Calif., pinched plants are about
6¾ inches tall and flowers are about
1¾ inches average diameter with a
¾ inch crown (average). Foliage is about 3½ inches long and about ⅜ inches wide. The new variety is mainly grown under greenhouse conditions but can be transplanted into a garden environment or patio container outdoors if protected from direct sun, in planting such as by walls or near shaded areas. It is expected that with regular watering and feeding, new blooms will grow and finish all year round.
Asexual reproduction by propagation by side shoot cuttings of the new variety as performed in Salinas, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
COMPARISON WITH PARENT
The new variety differs from its parent‘CFPC Debutante’ (unpatented) in having different flower color. The average crop time of the new variety is about 16 to 18 weeks in winter and about 12 to14 weeks in late Spring and Summer for finishing.
