Claims
We claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of Dahlia plant designated
`KLEDH18119` as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Genus and species: Dahlia x hybrida.
Variety denomination: `KLEDH18119`.
BACKGROUND
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 `KLEDH18119`. `KLEDH18119`
originated from an open pollination of the female Dahlia parent
`DH-2014-1288` (unpatented) in Stuttgart, Germany in 2014.
In 2015 a seedling was selected and named `KLEDH18119`. In 2016,
`KLEDH18119` was first vegetatively propagated by vegetative stem
cuttings. `KLEDH18119` was found to reproduce true to type in
successive generations of asexual propagation in Stuttgart, Germany
and Latina, Italy via vegetative stem cuttings.
SUMMARY
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing
characteristics of `KLEDH18119` when grown under normal
horticultural practices in Stuttgart, Germany. 1. Red
inflorescences; and 2. A compact, semi-upright habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Dahlia plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph
of a plant of `KLEDH18119` approximately 11 to 12 weeks old and
grown in a greenhouse in Stuttgart, Germany. The photograph is of a
whole plant, 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
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive
characteristics of `KLEDH18119`. 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).
