Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Astilbe plant named ‘Jump and Jive’, characterized by its upright, mounded and compact plant habit; rapid growth rate; freely and uniform flowering habit; and light red purple-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Astilbe hybrida cultivar Jump and Jive
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Astilbe plant, botanically known as Astilbe hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Jump and Jive’.
The new Astilbe is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Heemskerk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact and fast-growing Astilbe cultivars.
The new Astilbe originated from a pollination made by the Inventor of two unidentified Astilbe hybrida selections, not patented. The new Astilbe was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Heemskerk, The Netherlands in 1995 from the resultant progeny of the pollination. The new Astilbe was selected on the basis of its rapid growth rate and light red purple-colored flowers.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by divisions taken at Heemskerk, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Astilbe are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Jump and Jive have 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 following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Jump and Jive’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Jump and Jive’ as a new and distinct Astilbe cultivar:
1. Upright, mounded and compact plant habit.
2. Rapid growth rate.
3. Freely and uniform flowering habit.
4. Light red purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Astilbe are most similar to plants of the parent selections. Plants of the new Astilbe differ from plants of the parent selections and other Astilbe cultivars known to the Inventor in leaflet shape and flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, slowing 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 actual colors of the new Astilbe.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Jump and Jive’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence and leaves of ‘Jump and Jive’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants shown in the aforementioned photographs and used in the following description were grown in containers under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery in Heemskerk, The Netherlands. Plants in the photographs and those used for the description were about one year old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
