ABSTRACT:

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Lavandula angustifolia.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Walvera’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Lavandula angustifolia
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Walvera’. The new cultivar is a naturally occuring branch sport of
Lavandula angustifolia
‘Vera’ (unpatented) and was discovered jointly by the inventors in a cultivated area of West Sussex, United Kingdom in 1993.
The new lavender plant ‘Walvera’ is distinct and unique due to its mounding, semi-open habit, gray-green leaves with cream-white marginal variegation, and violet-blue flowers. The closest comparison is the parent plant
Lavandula angustifolia
‘Vera’ (unpatented). ‘Walvera’ is distinguishable from the parent plant, and all other existing varieties, by its variegated foliage.
The new invention was first asexually propagated by cuttings in West Sussex, United Kingdom by the inventors in 1995. Since that time subsequent generations have been determined fixed and stable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new lavender ‘Walvera’ is distinguished from all other known varieties of Lavandula, by the following characteristics:
1. Leaves with gray-green centers and cream-white variegated margins.
2. A mounded, semi-open habit.
3. Short, compact flower spikes of violet-blue flowers.
These unique traits set ‘Walvera’ apart from all other existing varieties.
