ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Delphinium plant, botanically known as
Delphinium belladonna
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name West End Blue.
The new Delphinium was discovered by the Inventor in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, in 1994 in a seed bed of sown
Delphinium belladonna
seed from various crosses of unidentified Delphinium seedling selections. The new Delphinium was selected as a individual seedling in the progeny of this crossing on the basis of its unique blue flower color.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings and by divisions taken at Noordwikjerhout, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Delphinium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar West End Blue have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘West End Blue’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘West End Blue’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Dark green leaf color.
3. Bright blue flower color.
4. Freely flowering with numerous flowers per stem.
Compared to plants of the purple-flowered nonpatented
Delphinium belladonna
cultivar Atlantis, plants of the new Delphinium have blue flowers and darker green leaves.
