Claims
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of Salvia plant designated
`HYBSV18020` as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Genus and species: Salvia buchananii x Salvia splendens.
Variety denomination: `HYBSV18020`.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of
Salvia, botanically known as Salvia buchananii x Salvia splendens,
and hereinafter referred to by the variety name `HYBSV18020`.
`HYBSV18020` as a branch mutation from the parent line SALMIA `Dark
Purple` (unpatented) in April 2015 in Sanremo, Italy.
In May 2015 in Juja, Kenya, `HYBSV18020` was first vegetatively
propagated by stem cuttings. `HYBSV18020` was found to reproduce
true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation via
stem cuttings.
SUMMARY
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing
characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal
horticultural practices in Sanremo, Italy and Stuttgart, Germany.
1. A plant having orange-red flowers; and 2. An upright plant
habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Salvia plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph
which shows the plant's overall plant habit including form,
flowers, and foliage. The photograph is of a 7-month-old plant
grown in a pot outdoors in Stuttgart, Germany in September 2018.
The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by
conventional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive
characteristics of `HYBSV18020`. The data which define these
characteristics were collected from in Stuttgart, Germany in May
2019 on 11-week-old plants grown in a 12 cm pot in a glass
greenhouse, pinched twice with added plant growth regulator. Color
references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal
Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), 5.sup.th edition (2007).
