ABSTRACT:

Genus:
Lavandula.
Species:
stoechas.
Denomination: Lavsts 15.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of lavender known botanically as
Lavandula stoechas
subsp.
pedunculata
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Lavsts 15’. The new invention is a hybrid plant that resulted from the pollination between two
Lavandula stoechas
varieties, namely
Lavandula
‘Gethsemane’ and
Lavandula stoechas
subsp.
pedunculata
and was selected in Christchurch, New Zealand by the inventor in 1996. Because of its hybrid nature, the instant plant will be known as
Lavandula
‘Lavsts 15’. The female parent is
Lavandula
‘Gethsemane’ (unpatented) and the male parent plant is an unidentified cultivar of
Lavandula stoechas
subsp.
pedunculata
(unpatented).
The new lavender cultivar ‘Lavsts 15’ is distinct and unique due to its long peduncles that terminate in bicolor spikes, combined with grey-green foliage. There are no comparison plants, known to the inventor, that resemble the instant plant. ‘Lavsts 15’ is distinguishable from both parent plants by the color of foliage, spike and sterile bracts.
The new invention ‘Lavsts 15’ was asexually propagated by the inventor in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1996 using soft to semi-hardwood cuttings. Since that time subsequent generations have been determined fixed, stable and true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new
Lavandula
cultivar ‘Lavsts 15’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Lavsts 15’ from all other existing varieties of
Lavandula
known to the inventor. ‘Lavsts 15’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
1.
Lavandula
‘Lavsts 15’ exhibits an upright, semi-open habit.
2. The sterile bracts and corollas of
Lavandula
‘Lavsts 15’ in combination exhibit the colors white and violet blue.
3.
Lavandula
‘Lavsts 15’ exhibits long tomentose, pale green peduncles.
4.
Lavandula
‘Lavsts 15’ exhibits grey-green foliage.
5.
Lavandula
‘Lavsts 15’ exhibits 4-8 sterile bracts per flower spike.
6.
Lavandula
‘Lavsts 15’ exhibits tinges of pink coloring on the sterile bracts as the flower spikes age.
