Abstract
Disclosed herein is a new and distinct variety of Phlox plant having an ascending habit and low plant height. The Phlox plant has abundant branching, and great profusion of blooms, the whole plant remaining in bloom for a considerable period of time. The flowers are single, the upper side color of the corolla is light purplish pink and yellowish white at the center with strong reddish purple eye. The under side color of the corolla is pale purplish pink and the outside of the corolla tube is pale purplish pink. The plant exhibits a high tolerance to heat and resistance to disease.
Description
Botanical designation: Phlox drummondii.
Variety denomination: ‘Sunphlo R&W’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Phlox plant originated from the crossing of a Phlox variety called ‘9Ph-17’ (♀) with a commercial cultivar ‘Palona Rose with eye’ (unpatented) (♂).
Phlox are mainly late spring or summer flowering annuals or perennial, grown for terminal panicles or for a profusion of brightly colored flowers. However, there are only a few Phlox which can survive a hot and humid summer and can bloom continuously until autumn. Accordingly, this invention was aimed at obtaining a new variety having vivid reddish purple colored petals, together with good heat tolerance and longer a flowering period.
The female parent ‘9Ph-17’ (unpatented) is a variety having a vigorous growth habit, abundant branching and good heat tolerance.
The male parent ‘Palona Rose with eye’ (PVP No.8900050 in United States) is a commercial cultivar.
In May 1999, crossing of a breeding line called ‘9Ph-17’ as female parent with a cultivar ‘Palona Rose with eye’ as pollen parent was conducted at Yokaichi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan. In January 2000, 50 seedlings were obtained from the crossing. The seedlings were grown in pots and tested, and then a single seedling was selected in view of the flower color, the good heat tolerance and a longer flowering period. The seedling was propagated by cutting and tested by flower potting and bedding from April 2001, at Yokaichi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan. The botanical characteristics of the plant were then examined using a similar variety, ‘Dolly Rose’, for comparison. As a result, it was concluded that the Phlox plant is distinguishable from any other variety whose existence is known to us and is uniform and stable in its characteristics. The new variety of Phlox plant was named ‘Sunphlo R&W’.
In the following description, the color information is in accordance with The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England.
This new variety is unlike any Phlox commercially available, known to the inventors, as evidenced by the following unique combinations of characteristics.
-
- 1. Ascending habit with short stem.
- 2. Having abundant branching with many blooms.
- 3. The flowers are single. The petal color is purplish pink (R.H.S.65B) and yellowish white (R.H.S.155B) at the center, with strong reddish purple (R.H.S.72B) eye.
- 4. The plant has a good tolerance to rain and heat.
The new variety ‘Sunphlo R&W’ differs from the male parent variety ‘Palona Rose with eye’ (unpatented) in the following points.
-
- 1. The stem color of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is dark red (R.H.S.183A). That of ‘Palona Rose with eye’ is light yellow green (R.H.S.154D).
- 2. The number of primary branches of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ more than that of ‘Palona Rose with eye’.
- 3. The base color of corolla of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is light purplish pink (R.H.S.65B). That of ‘Palona Rose with eye’ is vivid purplish red (R.H.S.67B).
- 4. The heat tolerance of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is strong. That of ‘Palona Rose with eye’ is weak.
The new variety ‘Sunphlo R&W’ differs from the similar variety ‘Dolly Rose’ (unpatented) in the following points.
-
- 1. The stem color of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is dark red (R.H.S.183A). That of ‘Dolly Rose’ is light yellow green (R.H.S.154D).
- 2. The diameter of corolla of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is larger than that of ‘Dolly Rose’.
- 3. The petal of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is broader than that of ‘Dolly Rose’.
- 4. The color of corolla-upper side of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is light purplish pink (R.H.S.65B). That of ‘Dolly Rose’ is deep purplish pink (R.H.S.66C).
- 5. The eye color of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is strong reddish purple (R.H.S.72B). That of ‘Dolly Rose’ is vivid red (R.H.S.57B).
- 6. The heat tolerance of ‘Sunphlo R&W’ is stronger than ‘Dolly Rose’.
The new variety of Phlox plant ‘Sunphlo R&W’ was asexually reproduced by the use of cuttings at Yokaichi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan, and the homogeneity and the stability thereof were confirmed.
The instant plant retains its distinctive characteristics and reproduces true to type in successive generations.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this character, typical specimens of the new cultivar. The depicted plants had been reproduced by the use of cuttings and were photographed June 2002 while growing outdoors in 20 cm pots at an age of approximately 3 months at Yokaichi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan.
The botanical characteristics of the new and distinct variety of Phlox plant named ‘Sunphlo R&W’ are set forth hereafter. The plants were observed as grown in typical outdoor conditions during June 2002 at Yokaichi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan, at an age of approximately 3 months. The average day temperature is approximately 22° C. and the average night temperature is approximately 12° C.
