Abstract
This species of Viburnum dentatum turns brilliant red in October and maintains its red color late into November in USDA hardiness zone 5. In early June, it produces dense, flat white clusters of flowers, which last for 3 weeks. The shrub is very cold hardy and can withstand temperatures of −20° F.(−28° C.) without damage.
Description
This invention relates to a Viburnum which is a product of open pollination of a seed parent Viburnum dentatum (unpatented) with an unidentified pollen parent. I first discovered this plant in a row of un-named Viburnum dentatum seedlings in a nursery in Plainsboro Township, N.J. in 1991. I asexually reproduced the plant by means of soft wood cuttings in a greenhouse in Plainsboro Twp. in New Jersey in 1993. I have observed the plants thus produced and find that the characteristics initially observed are in fact reproduced in successive generations.
The Viburnum family includes a varied and diversified group of shrubs grown for their ornamental value. They are appreciated for their white, cream and sometimes pink spring flowers, good foliage, interesting shape, their colored fruit which attracts birds, and their showy autumn color.
The plant of this invention is characterized by turning brilliant red in October in USDA hardiness zone 4 and maintaining the red color into late November. The shrub is very cold hardy, having withstood temperatures down to −20° F. (−28° C.) without damage. The foliage is more brilliant and is longer lasting than that of the seed parent and other plants of the species.
This new variety of Viburnum is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawings and depicts the plant by the best possible color representation using color photography. The color definitions in the specification have been taken from the Munsell Color Chart. While the colors depicted are believed to be of a high level of color fidelity, the coloration of this plant should be understood to be approximate and somewhat variable as a function of the cultural conditions and horticultural practices of the grower. For example, the leaf coloration may vary depending on the composition and the concentration of fertilizer that may be applied to the plant.
