Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Weigela plant named ‘Kolsunn’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; dark reddish brown young stem coloration; and green and white variegated leaves.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DESIGNATION
Weigela florida cultivar Kolsunn.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Weigela plant, botanically known as Weigela florida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kolsunn’.
The new cultivar is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Weigela florida ‘Variegata’, not patented. The new Weigela was discovered by the Inventor in 1996 in a controlled environment in Amstelveen, The Netherlands, within a population of plants of ‘Variegata’. The cultivar Kolsunn was discovered and selected by the Inventor on the basis of its green and white variegated leaves.
Asexual reproduction of the new Weigela by terminal cuttings taken at Boskoop, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Weigela are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Kolsunn’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kolsunn’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Dark reddish brown young stem coloration.
3. Green and white variegated leaves.
Plants of the new Weigela are most similar to plants of the parent, the Weigela ‘Variegata’. However, plants of the new Weigela differ from plants of ‘Variegata’ in leaf coloration as leaves of plants of ‘Variegata’ are green and yellow in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Weigela, 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 Weigela.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Kolsunn’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical lateral branch of ‘Kolsunn’.
The photograph at the middle of the second sheet is a close-up view of typical upper surfaces of fully expanded and developing leaves of ‘Kolsunn’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical flower of ‘Kolsunn’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new Weigela has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Boskoop, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices. Plants were about two years old and pruned annually. The photographs and description were taken during the late summer when day temperatures ranged from 14 to 20° C. and night temperatures ranged from 7 to 12° C.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
