Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Sunphloburu’, characterized by its compact and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; light purple-colored flowers with dark purple-colored central star; freely and continuous flowering habit; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Phlox drummondii.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunphloburu’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox, botanically known as Phlox drummondii and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunphloburu’.
The new Phlox is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in 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 Inventor in June, 2002, in Shiga, Japan, of a proprietary selection of Phlox drummondii identified as code number 2Ph-45a, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Phlox drummondii identified as code number 2Ph-45b, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phlox was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Shiga, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phlox by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Shiga, Japan since October, 2004, has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Sunphloburu has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Sunphloburu’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunphloburu’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox:
-
- 1. Compact and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Light purple-colored flowers with dark purple-colored central star.
- 5. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Compared to plants of the parent selections, plants of the new Phlox are more compact and differ in flower coloration.
Plants of the new Phlox can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Parona Light Blue, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Phlox and the cultivar Parona Light Blue differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Phlox were more spreading and broader than plants of the cultivar Parona Light Blue.
- 2. Plants of the new Phlox were more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Parona Light Blue.
- 3. Plants of the new Phlox were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Parona Light Blue.
- 4. Plants of the new Phlox had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Parona Light Blue.
- 5. Plants of the new Phlox were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Parona Light Blue.
- 6. Plants of the new Phlox and the cultivar Parona Light Blue differed in flower color.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Phylox, 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 accurately describe the colors of the new Phlox.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunphloburu’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Sunphloburu’.
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Shiga, Japan, under commercial practice during the spring in an outdoor nursery with day temperatures averaging 23° C. and night temperatures averaging 12° C. After planting, plants had been growing for about four months when the photographs and description were taken. 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.
