ABSTRACT:
GENUS AND SPECIES
Petunia hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Kakegawa S37’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia, botanically known as Petunia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Kakegawa S37’. ‘Kakegawa S37’ originated from a hybridization made in 1995 in Kakegawa, Japan. The male parent was a breeding line named P-1a (not patented). The female parent of ‘Kakegawa S37’ was a dwarf multiflora breeding pool line with red colored flowers named 87S- 1228-1a (not patented). F
1
seed from this cross was sown during the summer of 1995 and 20 F
1
plants were selected for further evaluation. Three plants were selected for mass intercrossing to produce F
2
seed.
One hundred F
2
plants were grown to flowering during the spring of 1996. Nine plants were selected for self-pollination. F
3
seed from the nine self-pollinated F
2
plants was sown during the spring of 1997 and two plants were selected for intercrossing to produce F
4
seed. Two hundred plants from this F
4
seed were transplanted to the field during the summer of 1998 in Salinas, Calif. One line was selected and vegetatively propagated for further evaluation. This line was propagated again in 1999, and evaluated for fixed characteristics and ease of propagation. The line was established as ‘Kakegawa S37’, and determined to have its characteristics firmly fixed.
‘Kakegawa S37’ has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics after two years and four cycles of vegetative propagation and this novelty is firmly fixed. The variety has demonstrated stability during this time and has no inherent variation or off-types.
