Abstract
A new and distinct selection of Hemerocallis hybrid cultivar ‘Malja’ characterized by its unique combinations of yellow to white and green foliage variegation and golden yellow flowers that are borne on short stems about half the height of the foliage on a plant of short stature.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Genus/Species: Hemerocallis hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Malja’.
This invention relates to a new and distinct selection of Hemerocallis hybrid, which is native to Europe, China and Japan, and a member of the Lily family. The new variety, Hemerocallis hybrid cv. ‘Malja’ resulted from seed which was sown in 1989 in South Africa. These seeds were obtained from a German seed company in 1987 and were labeled “Hemerocallis Miniature Hybrids.” The parental cultivars that produced these seeds remained in Germany and were not observed. While the species names of the parental culitvars are unknown, the seeds produced from the parental cultivars characteristically produced plants with a small growth habit. In 1990, a seedling (produced from the above-described seeds) was discovered in South Africa with yellow and green variegation and with dark yellow flowers on short stems. This new selection has been marketed as a perennial landscape plant. ‘Malja’ can be grown in shade as well as full sun and is slow growing and therefore ideal as a patio or container plant with its unusual variegated foliage.
This new plant has been asexually reproduced by divisions since its discovery in 1990 in South Africa and since 1995 in Azusa, Calif. Through extensive asexual propagation of this plant and observation, it has been established that the plant is true to type, and the novel, exceptional characteristics of this new plant are fixed and stable and reliably passed on to progeny through asexual reproduction.
Hemerocallis hybrid cultivar ‘Malja’ possesses a vibrant foliage variegation. The foliage in shade is green in the central area of the leaf and white on the margins. In sun conditions, the white leaf color turns to a cream yellow color.
Typically, Hemerocallis plants range in height to two to three feet. The growth habit of ‘Malja’ remains in the 12″ to 15″ range. The cultivar ‘Malja’ typically will bloom for two to three months of the year in South Africa and in Southern California.
FIG. 1 exhibits a close up of the flower and foliage of cultivar ‘Malja’.
FIG. 2 shows the growth habit and foliage variegation of cultivar ‘Malja’ and the flowers that appear on short stems within the center of the plant.
Below is a detailed description of Hemerocallis hybrid ‘Malja’. Color terminology is from Royal Horticultural Society Colour Charts. It should be noted that growth and/or color varies with time of year, lighting conditions, and soil and nutrient conditions. For example, leaf colors may be brighter green if the plant is grown in soil with greater nitrogen concentrations, and may be more yellow when grown in soil containing lesser amounts of nitrogen.
Measurements are based on plants grown in South Africa and Southern California. The observed plants were approximately eighteen to twenty-four months old. Plants observed in South Africa were field grown, while plants observed in California were container grown.

Color: variegation color varies in sun and shade exposure, typically more yellow is exhibited in full sun conditions and more white is exhibited in shade conditions. Center of leaf is green and margins are variegated. Leaf center color: both upper and lower leaf surfaces are Yellow-Green Group 146A to Yellow-Green Group 147C. Green portion is fairly uniform varying from 5 mm to 10 mm in width and comprising over half the width of the leaf in this color. Leaf margin color: both upper and lower leaf surfaces are Yellow-Group 4C to Yellow Group 7C. The yellow to white variegation exists the length of the entire leaf and on either side of the central green portion of the leaf. The variegation width varies from 5 mm to 10 mm in width. Texture: thin, coriaceus.
Arrangement: Arising from base of the plant.
Pest/disease resistance: Similar to other Hemerocallis plants, susceptible to red spider mites.
Heat/drought tolerance: Prefers temperatures 70° F. to 100° F. with ample soil moisture. Mature plantings tolerate dry soil conditions.
