ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Agastache rugosa×Agastache pallidiflora
cultivar Pink Perfume.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Agastache
plant, botanically known as
Agastache rugosa×Agastache pallidiflora
, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Pink Perfume’.
The new
Agastache
is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Boyl, The Netherlands. The new
Agastache
was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a seed bed of sown
Agastache
seed from various cross-pollinations of unnamed
Agastache rugosa
seedling selections, not patented, with unnamed
Agastache pallidiflora
seedling selections, not patented, in a controlled environment in Boyl, The Netherlands in 1998. The new
Agastache
was selected as an individual seedling within the progeny of these various cross-pollinations on the basis of its compact plant habit and red purple-colored flowers.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings taken at Boyl, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new
Agastache
are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Pink Perfume 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 ‘Pink Perfume’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Pink Perfume’ as a new and distinct
Agastache
cultivar:
1. Upright, mounded and compact plant habit.
2. Freely flowering habit with numerous spikes per plant and numerous flowers per spike.
3. Red purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new
Agastache
are most similar to plants of the parent selections. Compared to plants of the parent selections, plants of the new
Agastache
are more compact, have deeper red purple flower coloration, and flower for a longer period of time.
