ABSTRACT:
VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Lobena’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Verbena, botanically known as
Verbena×hybrida
. The new cultivar is propagated from cuttings resulting from the cross of ‘Y708’ and ‘W693’. ‘Y708’ is a blue flowering Verbena having a spreading habit. ‘Y708’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. ‘W693’ is a scarlet flowering Verbena having a spreading habit. ‘W693’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. Neither ‘Y708’ or ‘W693’ has been patented. As a result of this cross the present cultivar was created in 1997 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and Sarrians, France over a three year period. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations, and this novelty appears to be firmly fixed.
This new Verbena plant is an annual in most climatical zones in the US, only in zones 9 and 10 it is a perennial plant.
