ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of goldenrod plant, botanically known as Solidago L. and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Dansosolo’.
Goldenrods are members of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). There are approximately 100 species of Solidago plants found in North America, most of which are geographically located in the East. Goldenrods are perennial plants that commonly grow along streambanks, ditches, roadsides and other areas where the soil is moist and rich.
The new cultivar was originated from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in Mishmar Hashiva, Israel. The female parent is a Solidago cultivar designated Y-232 (unpatented). The male parent is an unknown Solidago cultivar (unpatented). ‘Dansosolo’ was discovered and selected by the inventor, Gabriel Danziger, as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Mishmar Hashiva, Israel.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by leaf-cutting was first performed by the inventor at Mishmar Hashiva, Israel and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Dansosolo’ which in combination distinguish this Solidago as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Small flowers;
2. Rapid growth rate and growth cycle; and
3. Flowers primarily arranged on the top trimester of the stem.
‘Dansosolo’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and daylength without any change in the genotype of the plant. The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Mishmar Hashiva, Israel under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
During the summer and in spring, the plant is grown outdoors in the soil on lifted beddings, and in winter from November to March, it is transferred to a greenhouse where it is grown in the soil on lifted beddings. The optimal temperature for growing ‘Dansogold’ is 15° C. to 25° C. Once it has been established, the plant can be pinched. Pinching is done at the point when the main stem has reached 5 to 10 cm, or when 2 segments are observed on the stem. Not less than a total of 16 hours of daylight is given, with additional lighting given according to the season.
Of the many commerical cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Dansosolo’ is the well-known Solidago cultivar ‘Tara’ (unpatented). In comparison to ‘Tara’, ‘Dansosolo’ has a similar growth habit, but the flowers of ‘Dansosolo’ are brighter in color and more numerous in number than flowers of ‘Tara’.
