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 Olympic Gold.
The new Sutera was discovered by the Inventor in 1997 in Evesham, Worcester, United Kingdom as a naturally-occurring branch sport of the
Sutera cordata
cultivar Blizzard, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,966. Plants of the new Sutera have yellow and green variegated leaves whereas plants of the cultivar Blizzard have solid green leaves.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Evesham, Worcester, United Kingdom, 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 Olympic Gold 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 ‘Olympic Gold’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Olympic Gold’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Low-growing and trailing plant habit.
2. Very freely branching; densely foliated.
3. Unique yellow and green variegated foliage.
4. White-colored flowers.
5. Long and continuous flowering period.
