Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Sunphloho’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching and vigorous growth habit; white-colored flowers; freely and continuous flowering habit; tolerance to high temperatures; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Phlox drummondii.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunphloho’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant, botanically known as Phlox drummondii, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Sunphloho.
The new Phlox is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program was to create new compact Phlox cultivars with attractive flower coloration.
The new Phlox originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventors in June, 2000 in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan of a proprietary selection of Phlox drummondii identified as code number 01Ph-13b, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Phlox drummondii identified as code number 01Ph-13a, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phlox was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings at Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since October, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Sunphloho have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sunphloho’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunphloho’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox:
-
- 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching and vigorous growth habit.
- 3. White-colored flowers.
- 4. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
- 5. Tolerant to high temperatures.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Phlox can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Phlox differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Phlox were more vigorous than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Phlox were larger and had longer internodes than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Phlox can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Phlox differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Phlox were more compact than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Phlox did not produce seeds whereas plants of the male parent selection produced seeds.
Plants of the new Phlox can also be compared to plants of the Phlox drummondii cultivar Sunphlopin, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/041,621. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Phlox differed from plants of the cultivar Sunphlopin in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Phlox were taller and broader than plants of the cultivar Sunphlopin.
- 2. Plants of the new Phlox had longer internodes than plants of the cultivar Sunphlopin.
- 3. Plants of the new Phlox had longer leaves than plants of the cultivar Sunphlopin.
- 4. Plants of the new Phlox and the cultivar Sunphlopin differed in petal coloration.
- 5. Plants of the new Phlox had shorter pedicels than plants of the cultivar Sunphlopin.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Phlox.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Sunphloho’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Sunphloho’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices during the summer. Plants were grown in 15-cm containers and were about four months old when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 22° C. and night temperatures averaged 12° C. Plants were pinched one time in the spring. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
