Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Physocarpus plant named ‘Mindia’, characterized by its upright, mounding and compact plant habit; freely branching growth habit; copper-colored leaves with deep lobes and serration; and resistance to Powdery Mildew.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Physocarpus opulifolius cultivar Mindia.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Physocarpus plant, botanically known as Physocarpus opulifolius, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Mindia’.
The new Physocarpus is a product of a breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Angers, France. The objective of the breeding program was to create new compact and freely branching Physocarpus cultivars.
The new Physocarpus originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor of the Physocarpus opulifolius cultivar Darts Gold, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Physocarpus opulifolius cultivar Monlo, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,211, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Physocarpus was discovered and selected by the Inventor during the summer of 2000 as a single plant in a controlled environment in Angers, France, within a population of the progeny resulting from the cross-pollination.
Asexual reproduction of the new Physocarpus by cuttings was first conducted in Angers, France during the summer of 2002. Since then, asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Physocarpus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Mindia has 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 ‘Mindia’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Mindia’ as a new and distinct Physocarpus:
    • 1. Upright, mounding and compact plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching growth habit.
    • 3. Copper-colored leaves with deep lobes and serration.
    • 4. Resistant to Powdery Mildew.
Plants of the new Physocarpus can be compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Darts Gold. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Physocarpus differed from plants of the cultivar Darts Gold primarily in foliage coloration as plants of the cultivar Darts Gold have gold-colored foliage.
Plants of the new Physocarpus are most similar to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Monlo. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Physocarpus differed from plants of the cultivar Monlo in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Physocarpus were more compact than plants of the cultivar Monlo.
    • 2. Plants of the new Physocarpus were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Monlo.
    • 3. Plants of the new Physocarpus had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Monlo.
    • 4. Leaves of plants of the new Physocarpus were copper in color whereas leaves of plants of the cultivar Monlo were purple and green in color.
    • 5. Plants of the new Physocarpus were resistant to Powdery Mildew whereas plants of the cultivar Monlo were not resistant to Powdery Mildew.
Plants of the new Physocarpus can be compared to plants of the cultivar Diabolo, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Physocarpus differed from plants of the cultivar Diabolo in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Physocarpus were more compact than plants of the cultivar Diabolo.
    • 2. Plants of the new Physocarpus were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Diabolo.
    • 3. Leaves of plants of the new Physocarpus were copper in color whereas leaves of plants of the cultivar Diabolo were green to black in color.
    • 4. Plants of the new Physocarpus were resistant to Powdery Mildew whereas plants of the cultivar Diabolo were not resistant to Powdery Mildew.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Physocarpus showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Physocarpus. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Mindia’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe three-year old plants grown in Grand Haven, Mich., in an outdoor nursery. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from −20 to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from −20 to 20° C. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The photographs and description were taken during the summer.
