ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Fuchsia×hybrida
cultivar Kiecandiro.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Fuchsia
plant, botanically known as
Fuchsia×hybrida,
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kiecandiro’.
The new
Fuchsia
is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Venhuizen, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new
Fuchsia
cultivars with an upright and compact plant habit, numerous flowers and attractive flower coloration.
The new
Fuchsia
originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during the winter of 1998 of a proprietary selection
Fuchsia×hybrida
identified as code number 9141-6, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection
Fuchsia×hybrida
identified as code number 9078-3, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Kiecandiro was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the resulting progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Venhuizen, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new
Fuchsia
by terminal cuttings at Venhuizen, The Netherlands, since the summer of 1998 has shown that the unique features of this new
Fuchsia
are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Kiecandiro has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and daylength, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Kiecandiro’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kiecandiro’ as a new and distinct
Fuchsia
cultivar:
1. Compact and upright growth habit.
2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit.
3. Light red and purple violet-colored flowers.
4. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
Compared to plants of the female parent selection, plants of the new
Fuchsia
have darker colored leaves and differ in flower coloration as plants of the female parent selection have light red and creamy white-colored flowers. Compared to plants of the male parent selection, plants of the new
Fuchsia
are more upright in growth habit.
Plants of the new
Fuchsia
can be compared to plants of the cultivar Rose Blue, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Venhuizen, The Netherlands, plants of the new
Fuchsia
differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Rose Blue in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Fuchsia
were more uniform than plants of the cultivar Rose Blue.
2. Plants of the new
Fuchsia
flowered earlier and more continuously than plants of the cultivar Rose Blue.
3. Plants of the new
Fuchsia
were more tolerant to wind and rain than plants of the cultivar Rose Blue.
