ABSTRACT:
Genus and species: Petunia hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Kakegawa S60’.
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 S60’. ‘Kakegawa S60’ originated from a hybridization made in 1997 in Kakegawa, Japan. The female parent originated from a cross made in 1994 between an F
4
multiflora selection from the variety ‘Dream White’ and a dwarf multiflora pink breeding line. From several F
1
plants produced, three were selected for intercrossing. In 1995 the mass produced F
2
seed was sown and several dwarf multiflora white lines were selected for intercrossing to produce F
3
seed. Selection and intercrossing continued until the F
5
generation was produced, which was designated line 4-96b-1a-1 (not patented). The male parent originated from a cross made in 1994 between a dwarf multiflora white breeding line and a white flowered, creeping habit breeding line named 4UK-1 (not patented). Three F
1
plants were selected and intercrossed to produce F
3
seed. Selection and intercrossing continued until the F
5
generation was produced, which was designated line 4-197G-1a-14 (not patented).
Two hundred F
1
plants were transplanted to the field in Salinas, Calif. during the summer of 1998. Five lines were selected for further evaluation and vegetatively propagated. The five 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 S60’, and determined to have its characteristics firmly fixed.
‘Kakegawa S60’ 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.
