Claims
We claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of Dianthus plant designated
`KLEDP19309` as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Genus and species: Dianthus caryophyllus.
Variety denominations: `KLEDP19309`.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of
Dianthus, botanically known as Dianthus caryophyllus, and
hereinafter referred to by the variety name `KLEDP19309`.
`KLEDP19309` originated from a cross from between the female
Dianthus parent `DSS-2014-1046` (unpatented) and the male Dianthus
parent `DCP-2001-TU 006` (unpatented) in The Netherlands in summer
2015.
In September 2016, `KLEDP19309` was first vegetatively propagated
by vegetative stem cuttings. `KLEDP19309` was found to reproduce
true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation in
Stuttgart, Germany via vegetative stem cuttings.
SUMMARY
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing
characteristics of `KLEDP19309` when grown under normal
horticultural practices in Latina, Italy and Stuttgart, Germany. 1.
Dark red-purple single, round flowers; and 2. An upright habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Dianthus plant is illustrated by the accompanying
photograph. The photograph shows the whole plant, including the
flowers and foliage and buds. The colors shown are as true as can
be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The
photo is of a 14-week-old plant of `KLEDP19309`. The photo was
taken in Stuttgart, Germany, indoors, in March 2017.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive
characteristics of `KLEDP19309`. The data which define these
characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried
out in Latina, Italy. Data was collected in May 2019 on plants that
were potted in week 389 of 2018. Color references are to The R.H.S.
