ABSTRACT:
Genus and species:
Petunia hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Whip Ablos’.
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 ‘Whip Ablos’. The new cultivar is asexually reproduced from vegetative cuttings and tissue culture resulting from the cross of the seed/pod parent 00-382-1, a single pink proprietary line that is unnamed and unpatented×00-341-1, a single dull pink proprietary line that is unnamed and unpatented.
‘Whip Ablos’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new petunia plants with light pink colored flowers with a hint of red-purple, compact habit, good basal branching and moderately vigorous growth.
The new cultivar was created in 2000 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif., Andijk, The Netherlands, and Guatemala over a two and half year period. The plant has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif., Litchfield, Mich. and Andijk, The Netherlands. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
