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.
