Abstract
A new and distinct hybrid of Heuchera plant characterized by almost black colored leaves with pink spots that expand as the leaf grows larger. In summer the spots on the older leaves lighten to cream and pink.
Description
Botanical classification: Heuchera hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Midnight Rose’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera hybrid given the cultivar name of ‘Midnight Rose’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Midnight Rose’ originated as a tissue culture mutation of Heuchera ‘Obsidian’. It was found by the inventor in a shipment of Heuchera ‘Obsidian’ at Behnke Nurseries (700 Watkins Park Drive, Largo, Md. 20774).
This new and unique Heuchera is distinguished by:
-
- 1. Almost black colored leaves with pink spots that expand as the leaf grows larger.
- 2. In summer the spots on the older leaves lighten to cream and pink.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heuchera hybrid based on observations of two year old specimen grown in the ground in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
