ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant, botanically known as
Nemesia foetens venten
and referred to by the cultivar name Hubbird.
The new Nemesia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Landscove, Devon, United Kingdom. The objective of the program is to create new compact Nemesia cultivars with bushy growth habit and attractive flower colors.
The new Nemesia originated from a cross by the Inventor of two unidentified selections of
Nemesia foetens venten
. The cultivar Hubbird was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Landscove, Devon, United Kingdom.
Asexual reproduction of the new Nemesia by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Landscove, Devon, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Nemesia are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new Nemesia has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Hubbird’ and distinguish ‘Hubbird’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Mostly upright and slightly spreading plant habit.
2. Compact, very freely branching and bushy growth habit; numerous slender and filamentous branches.
3. Numerous lavender blue-colored flowers that are about 1.5 cm in length and 1.3 cm in width.
Compared to plants of the parents, the unidentified selections of
Nemesia foetens venten
, plants of the new Nemesia differ in flower color and are more compact, bushier, less upright, have larger flower heads, and flower longer and more freely.
