Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant named ‘Novem’, characterized by its upright plant habit; freely basal branching growth habit; and purple-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Sedum telephium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Novem’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant, botanically known as Sedum telephium, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Novem’.
The new Sedum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact Sedum cultivars with uniform growth habit and attractive flower coloration.
The new Sedum originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2002 of the Sedum telephium cultivar Purple Emperor, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Sedum telephium cultivar Herbstfreude, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Sedum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands in 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, since 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Sedum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Novem have 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 ‘Novem’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Novem’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Upright plant habit.
- 2. Freely basal branching growth habit.
- 3. Purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Sedum can be compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Purple Emperor. Plants of the new Sedum differ from plants of the cultivar Purple Emperor primarily in plant height as plants of the new Sedum are more compart than plants of the cultivar Purple Emperor.
Plants of the new Sedum can be compared to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Herbstfreude. Plants of the new Sedum differ from plants of the cultivar Herbstfreude primarily in plant height as plants of the new Sedum are more compact than plants of the cultivar Herbstfreude.
Plants of the new Sedum can also be compared to plants of the Sedum telephium cultivar Lajos, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,421. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, plants of the new Sedum differed from plants of the cultivar Lajos in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Sedum were more compact than plants of the cultivar Lajos.
- 2. Plants of the new Sedum and the cultivar Lajos differed in leaf coloration as plants of the Lajos had variegated leaves.
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 Sedum. The photograph is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Novem’ grown in a container.
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. Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the late summer in an outdoor nursery in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands for about one year. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14 to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 7 to 18° C.
