Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Silvermine’, characterized by its unique green and pale yellow variegated foliage; upright plant habit; and numerous white-colored flowers.
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 Silvermine.
The new Phlox is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Phlox paniculata cultivar Popeye, not patented. The new Phlox was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Den Hoorn, The Netherlands, within a population of plants of ‘Popeye’ in 1998. The selection of this new Phlox was based on its unique variegated foliage. Plants of the cultivar Popeye have solid green-colored foliage whereas plants of the new Phlox have variegated foliage.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings taken at Den Hoorn, The Netherlands since 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Silvermine 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 ‘Silvermine’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Silvermine’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Unique pale yellow and green variegated foliage.
2. Upright plant habit.
3. Numerous white-colored flowers.
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 accurately describe the colors of the new Phlox.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of ‘Silvermine’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Silvermine’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of the upper surface of mature and young leaves of ‘Silvermine’.
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants of the new cultivar grown in the field under outdoor conditions during the summer in Den Hoorn, The Netherlands. Plants used in the photographs and the detailed botanical description were about 30 weeks from planting rooted cuttings. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
