Abstract

A new plant variety of Hydrangea hybrid characterized by dark green foliage, burgundy fall foliage, lacecap flower color and burgundy stem color.

Description

Classification: Hydrangea (Thunb.) (macrophylla×serrata)×Hydrangea (serrata×macrophylla).
Varietal denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘Sweet Chris’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Hydrangea hybrid which was developed in a controlled breeding program in Silver Spring, Md., United States, by Mr. Joseph Gray. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Sweet Chris’.
The genus Hydrangea is included in the family Saxifragaceae which comprises about 80 genera and 1,200 species of herbs, shrubs, small trees and woody climbers mostly temperate in origin. Hydrangea comprises approximately 23 species of deciduous or evergreen shrubs and vines originating in North America, South America and East Asia, many of which possess desirable ornamental characteristics. Recent taxonomical treatments sometimes isolate Hydrangea in a new family, Hydrangeaceae.
Hydrangea macrophylla is widespread and common throughout much of Japan. It generally has opposite, simple leaves, obovate to elliptic in shape, 10 to 20 cm long and 5 to 15 cm wide. Leaf color ranges from light to dark green, depending on light intensity and cultural conditions. Leaves are generally softly pubescent. Flower color is dependent upon the pH level of the soil and the amount of available aluminum in the soil media. Flowers of Hydrangea macrophylla are borne in mostly sterile florets, formed in what is often called a “hortensia” flower.
Hydrangea serrata is widespread and common throughout much of Japan, Korea and China. It generally has opposite, simple leaves, lanceolate in shape with acuminate apices, 5 to 15 cm long and 5 to 10 cm wide. Leaf color ranges from light to dark green, depending on light intensity and cultural conditions. Leaves are generally softly pubescent. The plant is deciduous. Flower color is dependent upon the pH level of the soil and the amount of available aluminum in the soil media. Flowers of Hydrangea serrata are borne in mostly flattened corymbs, 1 to 5 cm wide, with up to 12 sterile florets.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was developed in a controlled breeding program of Hydrangea macrophylla and Hydrangea serrata, and differs from its parents in its dark green summer foliage, burgundy fall foliage, lace cap flower color, and burgundy stem color. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by stem cuttings, performed in Silver Springs, Md. and Vacaville, Calif., have confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations, and the new variety reproduces true to type.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
‘Sweet Chris’ is distinguished from its parents and all other varieties of Hydrangea of which I am aware by dark green summer foliage, burgundy fall foliage, lacecap flower color, and burgundy stem color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying illustration shows a specimen of the new cultivar in a photo illustration as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character.
FIG. 1 illustrates the inflorescence and overall habit of ‘Sweet Chris’.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘Sweet Chris’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of plants grown in Vacaville, Calif. In this description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (1995) and terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in this color chart. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity, cultural and environmental conditions.
