Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Carex siderosticha plant called ‘Lemon Zest’ characterized by bright chartreuse foliage.
Description
Botanical classification: Carex siderosticha.
Variety denomination: ‘Lemon Zest’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of a hardy, suffrutescent perennial, Carex siderosticha, known by the cultivar name of ‘Lemon Zest’. The genus Carex is a member of the family Cyperaceae.
The new cultivar originated as a chance mutation in tissue culture of Carex siderosticha ‘Banana Boat’ (an unpatented plant with yellow leaves and green margins).
This new cultivar is unique and characterized by: Lemon yellow spring leaves turning chartreuse to light green as the summer progresses.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with lateral shoots as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The photograph shows a two-year-old plant growing in a 1 gallon container in April in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar based on observations of two-year-old specimens grown in containers in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
Botanical name: Carex siderosticha.
Cultivar name: ‘Lemon Zest’.

Flower, inflorescence, seed, fruit: Insignificant and the same as the species.
Disease tolerance: Excellent like the species.
Comparisons to similar Carex siderosticha: There are no other all gold forms of Carex siderosticha. Compared to Carex siderosticha ‘Banana Boat’ (an unpatented plant), this new cultivar has all yellow to yellow-green foliage rather than being edged green with a yellow center.
Growing conditions: This new variety prefers rich, moist soil in shade or filtered light.
