Claims
We claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of Dianthus plant designated
`KLEDG17301` as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Genus and species: Dianthus cultivars.
Variety denomination: `KLEDG17301`.
A Community Plant Variety Rights application was filed for
`KLEDG17301` on Jul. 4, 2016, File No. 2016/1680.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT `KLEDG17301`
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of
Dianthus, botanically known as Dianthus cultivars, and hereinafter
referred to by the variety name `KLEDG17301`. `KLEDG17301`
originated from a branch plant mutation from the Dianthus parent
`KLEDG12163` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,707) in March 2015 in
Stuttgart, Germany.
In August 2015, `KLEDG17301` was first vegetatively propagated by
vegetative stem cuttings. `KLEDG17301` was found to reproduce true
to type in successive generations of asexual propagation in
Stuttgart, Germany via vegetative stem cuttings.
SUMMARY OF `KLEDG17301`
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing
characteristics of `KLEDG17301` when grown under normal
horticultural practices in Stuttgart, Germany. 1. Light-pink
semi-double flowers with large purple eyes; 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 of `KLEDG17301`
and was taken in May 2016 in Stuttgart, Germany. The colors shown
are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional
photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF `KLEDG17301`
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive
characteristics of `KLEDG17301`. The data which define these
characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried
