Abstract

A new campanula plant particularly distinguished by large-sized blue and white, star-shaped flowers, an early and profuse flowering response, medium-green foliage with cordate leaves, moderately vigorous growth and a low, spreading and mounding, tight plant habit, is disclosed.

Description

Genus and species: Campanula isophylla Moretti.
Variety denomination: ‘Camp Bulewhit’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of campanula, botanically known as Campanula isophylla Moretti, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Camp Bulewhit’. The new cultivar originated from a hybridization made in February 2000 in Andijk, The Netherlands. The female parent was ‘CL-136-1’, a proprietary (unpatented) bi-colored flowered Campanula isophylla plant, while the male parent was ‘CL-34-1’, a proprietary (unpatented) white-flowered Campanula isophylla plant. The seeds produced by the hybridization were sown in August 2000, and the resulting seedlings were selected in January 2002. A single plant selection was chosen for further evaluation and for asexual propagation in 2002.
The new cultivar was created in 2000 in Andijk, The Netherlands and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Andijk, The Netherlands over a three-year period. ‘Camp Bulewhit’ has also been trialed at Hillscheid, Germany. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar were applied for in Canada on Mar. 21, 2006 and with the European Union on Jan. 24, 2005.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Andijk, The Netherlands and Hillscheid, Germany.
    • 1. Large-sized, blue and white, star-shaped flowers;
    • 2. An early and profuse flowering response;
    • 3. Medium-green foliage with cordate leaves;
    • 4. Moderately vigorous growth; and
    • 5. A low, spreading and mounding, tight plant habit.
DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS
This new campanula plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show overall plant habit including blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant; the colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs are of 5-month-old plants grown in a greenhouse in Andijk, The Netherlands in May 2003.
FIG. 1 shows the overall plant habit, including blooms, buds, foliage and plant habit.
FIG. 2 shows a close-up of the mature inflorescences.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Camp Bulewhit’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Andijk, The Netherlands. The plant history was taken partly on 5-week old plants, still in a vegetative state and grown in Hillscheid, Germany in the spring of 2006. Rooted cuttings were planted in 10.5-cm pots and grown in a greenhouse. The plants were not pinched. Flower observations were made on 35-week-old plants in the fall of 2005. Color readings were taken under natural light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (2001).
