ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant, botanically known as
Lantana camara
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Katie.
The new Lantana was discovered by the Inventor in McDonald, Pa., in April, 1996, as a naturally-occurring branch mutation of an unidentified selection of
Lantana camara
. The new Lantana differs from the mutation parent with its unique green and Light yellow variegated foliage as the parent has solid green-colored foliage.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in McDonald and Smoketown, Pa. has shown that the unique features of this new Lantana are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Katie 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 ‘Katie’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Katie’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely and continuous branching.
3. Unique green, light yellow green and light yellow variegated foliage.
4. Numerous lavender-colored flower with white centers.
5. Excellent garden performance and tolerance to high temperatures.
