ABSTRACT:
Classification: The present invention relates to a new Hybrid
Dianthus caryophyllus
plant.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘CFPC Tiara’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of carnation plant which is a cross of ‘CFPC Selena’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,899) as a seed parent and an undistributed, unpatented seedling identified as ‘970110’. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘CFPC Tiara’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the novel characteristics possessed by the new variety which distinguish it from other varieties of which I am aware, are its attractive bright red flowers which retain color without fading. When grown in a greenhouse in Salinas, Calif., in 4½ inch plastic pots, pinched plants are about 7 inches tall and about 7 inches in diameter. Flower diameter averages about 2⅛ inches with a crown of about 1 inch (average). Foliage is about 4 inches long and about ½ inch wide at its widest point.
Asexual reproduction by propagation by cuttings of the new variety as performed in Salinas, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagation.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The new variety differs from its parents in flower color. ‘CFPC Selena’ produces crimson mauve flowers and the male parent produced dark red flowers. The new variety produces flowers which are a non-fading red color.
