This application claims priority to and the benefit of European Community Plant Variety Office application filed on Jul. 5, 2016, Application No. 20161699, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of lavender, botanically known as Lavandula stoechas, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘KLELV15115’. ‘KLELV15115’ originated from a cross-pollination conducted in November 2008 in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia between the proprietary female lavender variety ‘LS901’ (unpatented), and the proprietary male lavender variety ‘LS903’ (unpatented).
The seeds from the cross were sown and plants were grown for evaluation, where an individual plant designated ‘KLELV15115’ was selected from the group of plants in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia in September 2009.
In January 2010, ‘KLELV15115’ was first vegetatively propagated by stem cuttings in Cobbitty, NSW, Australia. ‘KLELV15115’ was found to reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation via vegetative stem cuttings.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia.
This new lavender plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows the plant's foliage and flowers. The photograph is of a 5 month-old plant grown in a greenhouse in Stuttgart, Germany in October 2015. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘KLELV15115’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia. Data was collected on four-month-old plants grown in a greenhouse in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia in November 2016. Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), 5th edition (2007).
‘KLELV15115’ is distinguished from its parents as described in Table 1.
When ‘KLELV15115’ is compared to the commercial lavender ‘Madrid Purple’ (patent status unknown), differences between the varieties are described in Table 2.
