  • Helichrysum plant named ‘Harvest Sun II’
    Patent number: PP11800
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of the Compositae family, named Helichrysum bracteatum×splendidum ‘Harvest Sun II’, which originated as a seedling from the inventor's controlled crossing of unnamed and unpatented individuals Helichrysum bracteatum (Venten.) Andr. with Helichrysum splendidum (Thunb.) Less. The characteristics of the new variety which in combination distinguish it from its patents and all other varieties known to the inventor are: the color of its flower head and bud, its resistance to the root disease Pythium, its puberulent and sparsely villous leaves, its compact growth habit, its ability to grow well in pots in which it can be sold, and the ease with which it can be forced to flower outside for sale in the autumn without growth regulators. Coloring of bracts on the upperside of the flower head gives the mature flower head a uniform appearance of R.H.S. 12A (yellow group) at maturity.

    Abstract: A new and distinct low-chill tetraploid highbush blueberry (Vacinnium) variety of complex ancestry, based largely on V. corymbosum L with some genes from V. darrowi Camp.

Flowers very early in north central Florida (Gainesville). Date of full bloom in Gainesville averages about February 10, seven days before ‘Sharpblue’ (an unpatented variety that is widely grown in Florida). 4. Produces numerous flower buds and flowers heavily and synchronously in areas that receive 250 hours or more of temperatures below 45° F. per winter. 5. Ripens 5-7 days earlier than ‘Sharpblue’. First commercial harvest averages April 15 in Gainesville, Fla., and peak harvest is about April 25. 6.
