ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification:
Sutera cordata.
Varietal denomination: ‘Wesbavio’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Sutera plant known by the varietal name ‘Wesbavio’. The new variety was discovered in 2001 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 ‘Wesbavio’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Intense colored flowers.
2. Short internodes.
3. Compact growth.
4. Large flowers.
5. Dentate leaf margin.
The new variety has a similar leaf arrangement to the unpatented varieties ‘Seamist’ and ‘Cabane’. However, ‘Wesbavio’ has more compact branches compared to ‘Seamist’ and ‘Cabane’. The leaves of ‘Wesbavio’ have a broader dentation on the margins than ‘Seamist’ and ‘Cabane’. The petals of ‘Wesbavio’ are similar to the compared varieties in arrangement, shape, margin, and apex description.
