ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification:
Sutera cordata.
Varietal denomination: ‘Wesbawei’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Sutera plant known by the varietal name ‘Wesbawei’. The new variety was discovered in 2000 in a selected breeding program in Südlohn, Germany. The new variety is a selection from the cross of proprietary unpatented breeding plants. The growth character of the new variety is similar to its parents but with bigger flowers. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in December 2000 by cuttings in Südlohn, Germany. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Südlohn and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The following traits in combination distinguish ‘Wesbawei’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large buds and flowers.
2. Strong, wiry branches.
3. Large leaves.
4. Broad, rhombic leaves.
5. Crenate to dentate leaf margin.
6. Needle-shaped sepals.
7. Long peduncles.
The new variety has similar colored flowers to the unpatented varieties ‘Snowflake’ and ‘Cabane’. However, ‘Wesbawei’ has longer, thicker, and more weeping branches and longer peduncles compared to ‘Snowflake’ and ‘Cabane’. The leaves of ‘Wesbawei’ are about twice the overall size of those of ‘Snowflake’ and ‘Cabane’ with broader dentation on the margins. The flowers of ‘Wesbawei’ are also larger than the compared varieties in overall size, throat diameter, tube length, and petal length.
