Abstract

A new plant variety of Hydrangea paniculata named ‘Shikoku Flash’ having clear white mottled foliage growth throughout the growing season.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Hydrangea paniculata Sieb.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Shikoku Flash’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Hydrangea paniculata Sieb., which was discovered as a chance seedling in a controlled planting of Hydrangea paniculata (unnamed) (unpatented) by the inventor, Dr. Masato Yokoi, in Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘SHIKOKU FLASH’.
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, Hydrangeaaceae.
Hydrangea paniculata is widespread and common throughout much of Japan and eastern and southern China. It generally has opposite, occasionally whorled, simple leaves, elliptic or ovate in shape with acuminate apex, 5 to 15 cm long and 5 to 10 cm wide. Leaves are generally softly pubescent. Leaf color ranges from light to dark green, depending on light intensity and cultural conditions. The plant is deciduous. Flower color is white, often changing to pink as the season progresses.
Flowers of Hydrangea paniculata are borne in mostly conical or pyramidal panicles 15 to 20 cm long with a few white to pink sterile flowers each 1.75 to 3 cm wide. Fertile flowers are numerous, blooming in summer and early fall.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was discovered as a chance seedling in a controlled planting of Hydrangea paniculata (unnamed) (unpatented). Asexual reproduction of the new variety by stem cuttings performed in Saitama Prefecture, Japan and Lewisberry, Pa. have confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations.
COMPARISON
‘SHIKOKU FLASH’ is distinguished from plants of the unnamed, unpatented, Hydrangea paniculata and all other varieties of Hydrangea paniculata known to the inventor by the pigmentation of the leaves, which exhibit mottled clear white variegated foliage throughout the growing season.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying photographic illustration shows a specimen of the new cultivar as true to color as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character.
In the illustration:
FIG. 1 illustrates the distinctive mottled, clear white variegated foliage.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘SHIKOKU FLASH’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural, and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of 5-year-old plants grown in 5-gallon containers at Lewisberry, Pa. and Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity and cultural and environmental conditions. 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.
