Abstract
A new and distinct Hosta plant characterized by very dark maroon petioles with maroon leaf bases, thick, glossy, dark green leaves, camptodrome venation, a vigorous, clumping habit, on a medium size plant.
Description
Botanical denomination: Hosta hybrida.
Variety designation: ‘Purple Heart’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hosta, botanically known as a Hosta hybrida, and hereinafter will be referred to by its cultivar name ‘Purple Heart’. Hosta is in the family Hostaceae. The plant is the culmination of a breeding program for red petiole and leaf base Hosta. It was bred in Canby, Oreg. using unpatented proprietary parents. The exact parents are unknown.
Compared to Hosta ‘Invincible’ (an unpatented plant), Hosta ‘Purple Heart’ has a similar leaf color and texture. The new variety has a dark leaf base and a darker petiole.
Compared to Hosta ‘Little Red Rooster’ (an unpatented plant), Hosta ‘Purple Heart’ is a larger plant with deeper green foliage and a dark leaf base that continues further up the leaf.
Compared to Hosta ‘Red October’ (an unpatented plant), Hosta ‘Purple Heart’ has a larger habit and a deeper color in the leaf base.
This new cultivar is unique in the combination of:
-
- 1. very dark maroon petioles with maroon leaf bases,
- 2. thick, glossy, dark green leaves,
- 3. camptodrome venation,
- 4. a vigorous clumping habit,
- 5. and a medium size plant.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the new cultivar. Asexual propagation by tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with lateral shoots as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Hosta cultivar based on observations of one-and-a-half-year-old specimens growing in shade in the garden in mid-September in Canby, Oreg. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 5th edition.
