ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar denomination:
Argyranthemum frutescens
cultivar Supaglow.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant, botanically known as
Argyranthemum frutescens
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Supaglow’.
The new Argyranthemum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia. The objective of the program is to create and develop new compact Argyranthemum cultivars with numerous inflorescences with attractive ray floret coloration.
The new Argyranthemum originated from a cross by the Inventor in 1998 of the
Argyranthemum frutescens
cultivar Summer Stars Pink, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,939, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of
Argyranthemum frutescens
identified as code number J27, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Argyranthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia in October, 1999. The selection of the new Argyranthemum was based on its numerous anemone type inflorescences and purple-colored ray florets.
Asexual reproduction of the new Argyranthemum by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia, since October, 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Argyranthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new Argyranthemum has 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 characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Supaglow’ and distinguish the new Argyranthemum as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact, uniform, upright to outwardly spreading, and mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, dense and bushy plants.
3. Glossy dark green foliage.
4. Freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant.
5. Anemone inflorescence form.
6. Purple-colored ray and disc florets that fade to light pink with development.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum differ from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Summer Stars Pink, primarily in inflorescence form as plants of the cultivar Summer Stars Pink have semi-double inflorescences. Plants of the new Argyranthemum also differ from plants of the male parent, the selection J27, primarily in inflorescence form as plants of the selection J27 have single inflorescences.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Pink Anemone, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Argyranthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Pink Anemone in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum were much more compact than plants of the cultivar Pink Anemone.
2. Plants of the new Argyranthemum had smaller inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Pink Anemone.
3. Inflorescences of the new Argyranthemum had shorter disc florets than inflorescences of the cultivar Pink Anemone.
