Claims
We claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of Dianthus plant designated
`KLEDG17296` as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Genus and species: Dianthus cultivars.
Variety denomination: `KLEDG17296`.
A Community Plant Variety Rights application was filed for
`KLEDG17296` on Jul. 4, 2016, File No. 2016/1677.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT `KLEDG17296`
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of
Dianthus, botanically known as Dianthus cultivars, and hereinafter
referred to by the variety name `KLEDG17296`. `KLEDG17296`
originated from a whole plant mutation from the Dianthus parent
`KLEDG12163` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,707) in The Netherlands in
2015.
In August 2015, `KLEDG17296` was first vegetatively propagated by
vegetative stem cuttings. `KLEDG17296` was found to reproduce true
to type in successive generations of asexual propagation in
Stuttgart, Germany via vegetative stem cuttings.
SUMMARY OF `KLEDG17296`
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing
characteristics of `KLEDG17296` when grown under normal
horticultural practices in Stuttgart, Germany. 1. Light-pink
semi-double flowers; and 2. An upright habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Dianthus plant is illustrated by the accompanying
photograph of a plant approximately 8-months old and grown in a
greenhouse in Stuttgart, Germany. The photograph shows the whole
plant, including the flowers and foliage and buds and were taken in
May 2016 in Stuttgart, Germany. The colors shown are as true as can
be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
