Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Goldmine’, characterized by its unique green and light yellow variegated foliage; upright plant habit; numerous bright purple flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant, botanically known as Phlox paniculata, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Goldmine.
The new Phlox is a naturally-occuring whole plant mutation of the Phlox paniculata cultivar Kirchenfurst. The new Phlox was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Den Hoorn, The Netherlands, within a population of plants of ‘Kirchenfurst’ in 1998. The selection of this new Phlox was based on its unique variegated foliage. Plants of the cultivar Kirchenfurst have solid green-colored foliage.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings taken at Den Hoorn, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Goldmine have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertilizer rate without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Goldmine’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Goldmine’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Unique green and light yellow variegated foliage.
2. Upright plant habit.
3. Numerous bright purple flowers.
4. Good garden performance.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Phlox.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Goldmine’, grown in the landscape.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Goldmine’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves (upper, mature leaf; lower, young leaf) and typical flowers of ‘Goldmine’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of upper and lower surfaces of typical leaves (left, mature leaves; right, young leaves) of ‘Goldmine’. Plants used for the description were about 30 weeks old.
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants of the new cultivar grown under outdoor conditions during the summer in Den Hoorn, The Netherlands. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
