Abstract
A new and distinct hybrid of Heuchera plant characterized by very large, deep red flowers, green leaves, and a compact habit.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heuchera ((sanguinea×cylindrica)×sanguinea).
Variety designation: ‘Blood Red’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera and given the cultivar name of ‘Blood Red’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Blood Red’ originated from a cross between Heuchera ‘Strawberry Candy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,195) as the seed parent, and Heuchera sanguinea Black Red (an unpatented, proprietary plant) as the pollen parent.
This new Heuchera is distinguished by:
-
- 1. Very large, blood red flowers;
- 2. Small leaves that are often speckled yellow;
- 3. Low compact habit;
- 4. Good vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and 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 change with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The photograph shows a one-year-old plant of Heuchera ‘Blood Red’ growing in a one gallon container in the shade house.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heuchera cultivar based on observations taken in May of a two-year-old specimen grown the ground in the garden beds in full sun in Canby, Oreg. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 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.

The new variety has larger, clearer red flowers in a wand type arrangement while the pollen parent has smaller, very dark red flowers in a normal thyrse.
