Claims
We claim:
1. A new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia Plant Named `KLEDH18122`
as described and illustrated herein.
Description
Genus and species: Dahlia x hybrida.
Variety denomination: `KLEDH18122`.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT `KLEDH18122`
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of
Dahlia, botanically known as Dahlia x hybrida, and hereinafter
referred to by the variety name `KLEDH18122`. `KLEDH18122`
originated from an open pollination of the female Dahlia parent
`DH-2014-1264` (unpatented) in Stuttgart Germany in 2013.
In 2014 a seedling was selected and named `KLEDH18122`. In 2015,
`KLEDH18122` was first vegetatively propagated by vegetative stem
cuttings. `KLEDH18122` was found to reproduce true to type in
successive generations of asexual propagation in Stuttgart, Germany
and Latina, Italy via vegetative stem cuttings.
SUMMARY OF `KLEDH18122`
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing
characteristics of `KLEDH18122` when grown under normal
horticultural practices in Stuttgart, Germany. 1. Yellow
inflorescences and dark foliage; and 2. A compact, semi-upright
habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Dahlia plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph
of the plant approximately 11 to 12 weeks old and grown in a
greenhouse in Stuttgart, Germany. The photograph shows the whole
plant, unless otherwise noted, including the inflorescences and
foliage and buds and was taken in May 2018 in Stuttgart, Germany.
The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by
conventional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF `KLEDH18122`
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive
characteristics of `KLEDH18122`. The data which define these
characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried
out in Stuttgart, Germany. Data was collected on plants potted the
week of Jun. 11, 2018 and grown in a plastic greenhouse. 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).
