ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sutera plant, botanically known as
Sutera cordata
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Novasnow’.
The new Sutera was discovered by the Inventor in October, 1998 in Gensingen, Germany as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the
Sutera cordata
cultivar ‘Blizzard’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,966. Compared to plants of the cultivar ‘Blizzard’, plants of the new Sutera are stronger, more vigorous, have thicker and stronger stems, have larger and thicker foliage, and have much larger flowers.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Gensingen, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Sutera are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar ‘Novasnow’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Novasnow’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Novasnow’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Low-growing and cascading plant habit.
2. Very strong plants; vigorous.
3. Freely branching.
4. Large dark green leaves.
5. Very large white-colored flowers.
6. Long and continuous flowering period.
