ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Verbascum hybrida
cultivar Buttercup.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Verbascum plant, botanically known as
Verbascum hybrida,
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Buttercup.
The new Verbascum plant originated from a chance cross-pollination of two unidentified selections of
Verbascum hybrida,
not patented. The new Verbascum was discovered by the Inventor in 2000 in a controlled environment in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands. Plants of the new Verbascum differed primarily from plants of the unidentified parental selections and other Verbascum cultivars known to the Inventor in flower size and coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by divisions in a controlled environment in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Verbascum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Buttercup have not been observed under all possible environmental and cultural conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Buttercup’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Buttercup’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Freely flowering habit.
3. Large yellow-colored flowers.
