Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant named ‘Lemon Daddy’, characterized by its compact and mounded growth habit; large and thick yellow green-colored leaves; and large inflorescences with light pink-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Hydrangea macrophylla.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Lemon Daddy’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant, botanically known as Hydrangea macrophylla, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Lemon Daddy.
The new Hydrangea originated from an open-pollination in May, 2000, of the Hydrangea macrophylla cultivar Big Daddy, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,527, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Hydrangea macrophylla. The cultivar Lemon Daddy was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment in Marietta, Ga. in April, 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings in Chamblee, Ga., since March, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Hydrangea are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Lemon Daddy 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 ‘Lemon Daddy’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Lemon Daddy’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact and mounded growth habit.
- 2. Large and thick yellow green-colored leaves.
- 3. Large inflorescences with light pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can be compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Big Daddy. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Chamblee, Ga., plants of the new Hydrangea differed from plants of the cultivar Big Daddy in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hydrangea were more compact than plants of the cultivar Big Daddy.
- 2. Plants of the new Hydrangea had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Big Daddy.
- 3. Plants of the new Hydrangea had yellow green-colored leaves whereas plants of the cultivar Big Daddy had green-colored leaves.
- 4. Plants of the new Hydrangea had smaller inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Big Daddy.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can also be compared to plants of the Hydrangea macrophylla cultivar Oganba, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Chamblee, Ga., plants of the new Hydrangea differed from plants of the cultivar Oganba in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hydrangea were more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Oganba.
- 2. Plants of the new Hydrangea had larger leaves than plants of the cultivar Oganba.
- 3. Plants of the new Hydrangea had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Oganba.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the unique 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 photograph may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Hydrangea. The photograph is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Lemon Daddy’.
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. Plants used in the aforementioned photograph and in the following description were grown in Chamblee, Ga. in an outdoor nursery and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions. Plants were about one year old when the photograph and description were taken. The photograph and description were taken during the summer.
