Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Caryopteris plant named ‘Durio’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; relatively large leaves; and numerous large pink-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Caryopteris×clandonensis cultivar Durio.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Caryopteris plant, botanically known as Caryopteris×clandonensis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Durio’.
The new cultivar is a chance seedling that originated from a self-pollination in 1998 of the Caryopteris×clandonensis cultivar Blue Mist, not patented. The cultivar Durio was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1998 as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated self-pollination in a controlled environment in Opelousas, La.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by softwood cuttings in Opelousas, La. since 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Caryopteris are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Durio’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Durio’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching growth habit.
    • 3. Relatively large leaves.
    • 4. Numerous large pink-colored flowers.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Caryopteris differed primarily from plants of the parent, the cultivar Blue Mist in flower color as plants of the cultivar Blue Mist had violet blue-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Caryopteris had broader leaves and larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Blue Mist.
The new Caryopteris can also be compared to the Caryopteris cultivar, Jason, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/878,606. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Caryopteris differed from plants of the cultivar Jason in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Caryopteris were more compact than plants of the cultivar Jason.
    • 2. Plants of the new Caryopteris had larger leaves with longer petioles than plants of the cultivar Jason.
    • 3. Plants of the new Caryopteris and the cultivar Jason differed in leaf and flower coloration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Durio’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Durio’ grown in an outdoor nursery. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Caryopteris.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The cultivar Durio 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 aforementioned photograph and following obervations and measurements describe plants grown in Grand Haven, Mich., under commercial practice in an outdoor nursery during the summer and fall. Plants used for the photograph and description were about 2.5 years old. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
