#Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Anagallis monelli cultivar Wildcat Orange.

#The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Anagallis plant, botanically known as Anagallis monelli, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Wildcat Orange.

#The new Anagallis is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Durham, N.H. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Anagallis plants with freely and early flowering habit.

#The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Anagallis.

#The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of three typical plants of ‘Wildcat Orange’ grown in a container.

#The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Wildcat Orange’.

#The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse during the summer under full sun conditions with day temperatures ranging from about 18 to about 35° C. and night temperatures ranging from about 7 to about 18° C. After planting rooted cuttings, plants were grown for about four months in 20-cm containers with three plants per container.
