Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Pulmonaria plant named ‘Ocupol’, characterized by its attractive and dense silvery leaf spotting; freely flowering habit; and attractive and large light lavender flowers that open fully.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Pulmonaria plant, botanically known as Pulmonaria officinalis, marketed under the trade name Opal, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Ocupol.
The new Pulmonaria is a seedling from random open pollinations of various unidentified selections of Pulmonaria officinalis. The new Pulmonaria was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1986 as a flowering plant in a controlled environment in Luddenden, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. The new Pulmonaria was selected on the basis of large light lavender flowers and attractive silver leaf spotting.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings and divisions taken at Bressingham, Diss, Norfolk, England, has shown that the unique features of this new Pulmonaria are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Ocupol 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 fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Ocupol’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ocupol’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Attractive and dense silvery leaf spotting.
2. Freely flowering.
3. Attractive and large light lavender flowers that open fully.
Compared to unidentified selections of the Pulmonaria officinalis and the Pulmonaria officinalis cultivar ‘Roy Davidson’, not patented, plants of the new Pulmonaria have more silver leaf spotting, have larger flowers that open more fully, and lighter lavender flower color.
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 photograph may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Pulmonaria.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Ocupol’ grown in the landscape.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Ocupol’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants were grown in Bressingham, Diss, Norfolk, England under field conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions. Day temperatures ranged from 5 to 28° C. and night temperatures ranged from −8 to 15° C. Plants were observed when they were one year old.
