ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sutera known botanically as Sutera and referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘Yasflos’. It is a cross between two parent seedlings, both
Sutera cordata
(not patented). The seed parent is
Sutera cordata
(not patented) and the pollen parent is
Sutera cordata
(not patented). The new Sutera was selected from a long term breeding program designed to produce new patio plants and hanging baskets. The inventor conducted the first crosses in a cultivated area of Congleton, Chesire England in 1998. ‘Yasflos’ was selected by the inventor in 1998 as a container plant suitable for temperate climates.
‘Yasflos’ was selected for the specific traits of vigorous growth, free-flowering, bushy cascading habit and numerous large bluish flowers. The combined characteristics of the new invention ‘Yasflos’ are unique and make ‘Yasflos’ a distinct hanging basket Sutera, setting it apart from all other existing varieties known to the inventor. The closest comparison variety is Sutera ‘Lavender Showers’ (unpatented). In comparison ‘Yasflos’ exhibits larger, more abundant flowers that are darker in color with more blue than those of ‘Lavender Showers’ (unpatented).
The first asexual propagation was conducted by the inventor in the summer of 1998 in a cultivated area of Congleton, Chesire, United Kingdom, using cuttings. In vegetative propagation, ‘Yasflos’ has remained true to type and been found stable in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. ‘Yasflos’ is selected as a new basket Sutera, for its vigorous and rapid growth, free-flowering, bushy cascading habit and numerous large blue flowers. Compared to Sutera ‘Lavender Showers’ (unpatented), the flowers of ‘Yasflos’ are larger, more abundant and darker in color with more blue than lavender. These attributes in combination distinguish this cultivar from all other existing varieties known to the inventor.
