Abstract

A new plant variety of Abelia×grandiflora having new shoots and foliage which emerge white, cream, pale yellow to gold with occasional terminal golden orange foliage, and with pink stems. Unusually thick mature foliage which exhibits green centers with golden to cream to bright yellow marginal variegations.

Description

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Abelia×grandiflora.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘White Marvel’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Abelia×grandiflora (André) Rehd., which was discovered as a branch sport in a controlled planting of Abelia×grandiflora ‘FRANCES MASON’ in Takarazuka City, Japan by Mr. Katsuya Sakaue. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘WHITE MARVEL’.
The genus Abelia is included in the family Caprifoliaceae, which comprises about 16 genera and 365 species of herbs, shrubs, small trees and woody climbers, mostly temperate in origin. Abelia comprises approximately 15 species of deciduous or evergreen shrubs originating in China, Japan, Himalaya and Mexico, many of which possess desirable ornamental characteristics.
Abelia×grandiflora (André) Rehd. (Abelia chinensis×A. uniflora) is of unknown origin. It generally has opposite leaves, simple to ovate, 2 to 4 cm long and 1 to 2 cm wide. Leaves are acute or rounded or cuneate at base. Leaf margins are serrate, glabrous in surface texture. The plant is evergreen. Foliage color is dark green on the top surface, and pale green on the underside, depending on light.
Flowers of Abelia×grandiflora bloom May through June, and are approximately 2 cm wide.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was discovered as a branch sport in a controlled planting of Abelia×grandiflora ‘FRANCES MASON’ and differs from its parent in having new shoots and foliage emerging cream, pale yellow to gold, with occasional terminal leaves of golden orange, and with pink stems. Mature foliage exhibits green centers with golden to cream to bright yellow marginal variegation. Mature foliage is unusually thick. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by stem cuttings performed in Takarazuka City, Japan; Lewisberry, Pa. and Vacaville, Calif. have confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations.
COMPARISON WITH PARENT
The new variety differs from its parent and all other varieties of Abelia×grandiflora known to the inventor in having new shoots and foliage emerging white, cream, pale yellow to pink, with pink stems. Mature foliage exhibits green centers with golden to cream to bright yellow marginal variegation.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS
The accompanying photographic illustrations show a specimen of the new cultivar as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in illustrations of this character.
In the illustrations:
FIG. 1 illustrates new and secondary foliage prior to maturation.
FIG. 2 illustrates stems on the new growth as well as the newly emerged growth.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘WHITE MARVEL’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural, and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of plants grown in containers at Lewisberry, Pa., and Vacaville, Calif. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity and cultural and environmental conditions. In this description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (1995) and terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in this color chart.
