Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Tiarella plant characterized by its compact and creeping habit, distinct leaf form and coloration, and with numerous flowering stems and white flowers.

Description

Botanical classification: Tiarella hybrid (including Tiarella cordifolia and Tiarella wherryi).
Variety denomination: ‘Pirate's Patch’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of a hardy herbaceous perennial of the genus Tiarella, and known by the cultivar name ‘Pirate's Patch’. The genus Tiarella is a member of the family Saxifragaceae.
The new cultivar originated as a cross between unknown parents. This new Tiarella was one of many seedlings grown from select interspecific hybrids and species that were mass pollinated in the greenhouse in Canby, Oreg. From observation of the characteristics exhibited by the instant plant, it is most likely an interspecific hybrid, including Tiarella cordifolia, and Tiarella wherryi. As such no species designations are given.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This plant is characterized by the following:
1. Compact, slow creeping habit.
2. Numerous flowering stems.
3. Attractive maple shaped leaf with strong, dark pattern along main veins.
4. Light pink flower buds and white flower color.
5. Excellent vigor.
The new variety has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and micropropagation). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and micropropagation using standard techniques with terminal and 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.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 shows a one year old plant, in flower, growing the in the ground in April in Canby, Oreg.
FIG. 2 shows a two-year old plant in a 1 gallon pot in the garden in June in Canby, Oreg.
DETAILED PLANT DESCRIPTION

COMPARISONS WITH SIMILAR TIARELLA
Compared with Tiarella ‘Jeepers Creepers’ (U.S. Plant patent application No. 13,437), Tiarella ‘Pirate's Patch’ has shallower leaf lobes and is not shiny, but matte on the leaf surface. The plant is more compact, with much better flower number and shorter flower stalks. Both are slow creepers.
Compared to Tiarella ‘Inkblot’, an unpatented plant, the new cultivar is creeping rather then clumping and the pattern in the leaf is much more pronounced.
