ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant, botanically known as
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
, and known by the cultivar name ‘Forever Maxi White’. ‘Forever Maxi White’ was developed in a controlled breeding program in Ashtabula, Ohio by crossing Mikkelsen Seedling No. 93-304-1 (seed parent) (unpatented) with Mikkelsen Seedling No. 93-120-14 (pollen parent) (unpatented). The seed and pollen parents are proprietary breeding lines which have not been sold or made publicly available in this country. The plant is perennial but typically used as an annual in the floriclture industry.
Asexual reproduction by stem cuttings taken by the inventor in Lompoc, Calif. has shown that the unique features of this new Kalanchoe are stabilized and are reproduced true to type in successive propagations.
The following characteristics distinguish the new Kalanchoe from other cultivated Kalanchoes of this type known to the inventor. The characteristics are described with comparative reference to the cultivar Mount Robson (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,343).
1. ‘Forever Maxi White’ has colored flowers of Yellow Group 10C, fading to a bright white of White Group 155D while ‘Mount Robson’ has flowers of Yellow Group 10C, fading to a dull White Group 155C.
2. ‘Forever Maxi White’ has an obtuse leaf apex while ‘Mount Robson’ has a more acute leaf apex.
3. ‘Forever Maxi White’ has a white stigmatic surface on mature flower while ‘Mount Robson’ has a red-purple cast to stigmatic surface.
4. ‘Forever Maxi White’ is a taller growing plant at 21 cm while ‘Mount Robson’ is 18 cm tall.
5. ‘Forever Maxi White’ keeps up to 7 days longer than ‘Mount Robson’ under home conditions.
6. ‘Forever Maxi White’ has a cyme type of inflorescence while ‘Mount Robson’ has a compound umbel type of inflorescence.
