Abstract
A new cultivar of Clematis named ‘Barbara Harrington’ that is characterized by intense deep purple flowers and a free flowering habit. In combination these traits set ‘Barbara Harrington’ apart from all other existing varieties of Clematis known to the inventor.
Description
Botanical classification: Clematis species.
Variety denomination: ‘Barbara Harrington’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Clematis, a woody half climber that is grown for use in small gardens and for its cut flowers. The new cultivar is known botanically as a Clematis and will be referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘Barbara Harrington’.
‘Barbara Harrington’ was discovered by the inventor in 1996 in a cultivated area of Cambridgeshire, England. ‘Barbara Harrington’ was discovered as a single plant growing in a bed of Clematis ‘Comtesse de Bouchard’ (not patented). The exact parents are unknown.
The distinguishing characteristics of ‘Barbara Harrington’ are its intense deep purple color and free flowering habit. The closest comparison plants are Clematis ‘Comtesse de Bouchard’ and Clematis ‘Ernest Markham’ (not patented). ‘Barbara Harrington’ is distinguishable from Clematis ‘Comtesse de Bouchard’ by it's darker purple colored flower. The flowers of ‘Comtesse de Bouchard’ are a lighter purple. ‘Barbara Harrington’ is distinguishable from Clematis ‘Ernest Markham’ by having a more prolific flowering habit. ‘Ernest Markham’ does not flower prolifically.
‘Barbara Harrington’ was first asexually propagated by the inventor in Cambridgeshire, England in 1996 using softwood internodal cuttings. Since that time, under careful observation, the distinguishing characteristics have been determined stable and uniform in successive generations.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Clematis cultivar ‘Barbara Harrington’. In combination these traits set ‘Barbara Harrington’ apart from all other existing varieties of Clematis known to the inventor. ‘Barbara Harrington’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
-
- 1. Clematis ‘Barbara Harrington’ is free flowering.
- 2. Clematis ‘Barbara Harrington’ exhibits an intense purple color
- 3. Clematis ‘Barbara Harrington’ is a climber that is hardy to USDA Zone 4.
The accompanying color photographs illustrate the distinguishing traits of the new Clematis cultivar ‘Barbara Harrington’. The plants in the photographs were grown out of doors in Cambridgeshire, England in ten liter containers.
The first drawing illustrates entire plants in bloom from a side perspective.
The second drawing is a close-up view of the leaves and a flower. All photographs are taken using conventional techniques and although foliage colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance, they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
The following is a detailed description of the Clematis cultivar named ‘Barbara Harrington’. Data was collected in Cambridgeshire, England, from 2 year old plants grown in ten liter containers outdoors. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001 except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. Under normal growing conditions there are no known disease problems known to the inventor.
