ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct
Lantana camara
cultivar which is outstanding because of its 1) bright fuschia colored floret clusters; 2) its reduced tendency to set seed; 3) its rapid growth rate (approximate mature size mound of 36″×36″ in one growing season in USDA Zone 5); and 4) its mint-like aromatic foliage. The claimed
Lantana Camara
plant was primarily selected for these characteristics. This selection was made from a specially designed Lantana hydridizing program with said hybrid cultivars being planted and grown in Grain Valley, Mo.
ORIGIN AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Asexual reproduction of this cultivar by tip cuttings was directed by me, such reproduction establishing that the plant does in fact maintain the characteristics described, in successive generations.
It should be noted that the plant was initially selected from a Lantana planting being grown near Grain Valley, Mo. in a cultivated area and has since been reproduced by tip cuttings in the vicinity of Grain Valley, Mo. with the new and distinct characteristics stated herein, found to be maintained through successive generations as before recited.
Lantana camara
is native to the subtropics and tropical North and South America. They are woody ornamentals which are not usually winter hardy North of USDA horticulture Zone 9. The roughish leaves range from yellow-green to green to blue-green and the two basic growth forms are mounding and trailing (weeping). Bloom color usually include yellow, white, cream, pink or orange.
The cultivar of
Lantana camara
‘Robpathot’ may further be described as having a number of distinctive characteristics which are enumerated in the succeeding specific description but broadly stated as comprising; 1) bright fuschia colored floret clusters; 2) its reduced tendency to set seed; 3) its rapid growth rate (approximate mature size mound of 36″×36″ in one growing season in USDA Zone 5); and 4) its mint-like aromatic foliage. I have chosen to identify this new cultivar as
Lantana camara
‘Ropathot’. This cultivar is being marketed in the United States under the name of Patriot™ Hot Country.
