ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Asteriscus plant, botanically known as
Asteriscus maritimus
and referred to by the cultivar name Compact Gold Coin.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Billerbeck, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact Asteriscus cultivars.
The new cultivar originated from a self-pollination made by the Inventor in 1993, of the
Asteriscus maritimus
cultivar Gold Coin, not patented.
The cultivar Compact Gold Coin was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Billerbeck, Germany, in 1993. The selection of this new Asteriscus plant was based on its more compact and less upright plant habit compared to the parent cultivar, Gold Coin. In addition, ray florets of the new Asteriscus are more widely spaced than ray florets of the cultivar Gold Coin and are more tolerant to high temperatures.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Billerbeck, Germany, and Bonsall, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Asteriscus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Compact Gold Coin has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Compact Gold Coin’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Compact Gold Coin’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Low spreading, mounding and compact plant habit.
2. Dark green foliage.
3. Numerous daisy-type inflorescences with widely-spaced ray florets.
4. Attractive bright lemon yellow ray florets.
5. Excellent garden performance, tolerant to high temperatures.
