ABSTRACT:

Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed:
Coleus×hybrida.
Variety denomination: Balaureve.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Coleus plant, botanically known as
Coleus×hybrida
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balaureve’.
The new Coleus originated as the product of a controlled breeding program carried out in Cartago, Costa Rica during September 1997. The female (seed) parent of the new Coleus was the
Coleus×hybrida
variety ‘Ducks Foot Camouflage’ (not patented). The male (pollen) parent of the new variety was the
Coleus×hybrida
variety ‘Mosaic Farway’ (not patented). The new Coleus was discovered and selected as a single plant from within the progeny of the above stated cross during August 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal tip or stem cuttings taken during 2001 in West Chicago, Ill., has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) forms green and grayed-purple variegated leaves;
(b) exhibits an upright bushy form; and
(c) exhibits a vigorous growth habit.
‘Balaureve’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to its female parent ‘Ducks Foot Camouflage’. However, in side-by-side comparisons, the new Coleus exhibits a more branching habit and different leaf color.
