ABSTRACT:
GENUS AND SPECIES
Petunia hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Kakegawa S59’.
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 S59’. ‘Kakegawa S59’ originated from a hybridization made in 1997 in Kakegawa, Japan. The male parent originated from a cross made in 1992 between a dwarf multiflora pink breeding line and a small, magenta flowered breeding line with creeping habit. From a total of twenty F
1
plants produced, three were selected in 1993 for intercrossing. From a total of 80 F
2
plants, one plant with small, light pink flowers and a creeping habit was selected in fall 1993 as line 4-185F-1a. In spring
1994, 4-
185F- 1a was crossed to a dwarf multiflora pink breeding line known as 9S-829-2a-1a -1a-1. Three plants were selected from the F
1
seed and intercrossed to produce F
2
seed. In 1995 a large, pink flowered plant with creeping habit was selected and over the next two years single plant selection was used to self the male parent to the F
4
generation. In 1997, ‘Kakegawa S59's’ male parent was crossed again to the female parent, dwarf multiflora pink breeding line 9S-829-2a-1a-1a-1.
Two hundred F
1
plants were transplanted to the field in Salinas, Calif. during the summer of 1998. Four lines were selected for further evaluation and vegetatively propagated. The four lines were propagated again in 1999 and evaluated for fixed characteristics and ease of propagation. Final selection of one line was made in Salinas, Calif. during the summer of 1999. The line was established as ‘Kakegawa S59’, and determined to have its characteristics firmly fixed.
‘Kakegawa S59’ 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.
