ABSTRACT:
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed:
Dahlia pinnata.
Variety denomination: ‘Balnovrese’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Dahlia plant, botanically known as
Dahlia pinnata
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balnovrese’.
The new cultivar originating as the product of the open pollination of plants from the seed variety
Dahlia pinnata
series ‘Figaro Improved’ (unpatented). The new Dahlia was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the above stated open pollination at Elburn, Ill. The new cultivar was initially designated PAS12202-8.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal or stem cuttings taken during 2001 at West Chicago, Ill., has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are reproduced true to type through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) forms double inflorescences with yellow ray florets with red accents;
(b) exhibits an upright mounded habit; and
(c) exhibits a vigorous growth habit.
‘Balnovrese’ 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 without, however, any variance in genotype.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to ‘Margaret’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,769). However, in side-by-side comparisons, ‘Balnovrese’ exhibits smaller inflorescences with fewer, smaller ray florets. The flowers of ‘Balnovrese’ are bicolor whereas those of ‘Margaret’ are solid.
