Abstract
A new and distinct hybrid of Heuchera plant characterized by medium large, well-veiled, green leaves, numerous deep pink flowers, an extended bloom period, a mounding habit and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heuchera hybrid.
Variety designation: ‘Paris’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera and given the cultivar name of ‘Paris’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Paris’ originated from a cross between Heuchera ‘Hollywood’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,129), as the seed parent, and Heuchera 268-2 (an unpatented, proprietary plant), as the pollen parent. Given its ornamental foliage and flower form, it is probable that Heuchera sanguinea, H. micrantha, H. americana, and H. cylindrica are in its parentage.
This new Heuchera is distinguished by:
-
- 1. medium large, round, well-veiled green leaves;
- 2. numerous deep pink flowers that fade to darker deep pink with age, giving a multi-color flower look as it matures;
- 3. very long bloom time;
- 4. mounding habit;
- 5. excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (cuttings 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 change with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The drawing shows a two-year-old plant of Heuchera ‘Paris’ growing in the ground in the shade garden in September in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heuchera cultivar based on observations taken in May of a two-year-old specimen grown a two gallon container in an open air shade house with 50% shade cover and added irrigation in the summer months in Canby, Oreg. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.

Compared to the seed parent, Heuchera ‘Hollywood’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,129), the new variety has green leaves rather than brown and a strong white veil rather than a slight veil. The flowers of the new variety are of a brighter pink color and are much more floriferous.
Compared to the pollen parent, Heuchera 268-2, the new variety has green leaves rather than brown and a strong white veil rather than a slight veil. The flowers of the new variety are of a brighter pink color and the inflorescences are more wand shaped.
Compared to Heuchera ‘Strawberry Candy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,195), this new variety is much larger overall and has a much longer bloom time. It has much larger leaves, and more inflorescences and more flowers per inflorescence. The inflorescence on the new variety is longer and wider and more branched.
Compared to Heuchera ‘Peppermint Spice’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/385,345), the new variety has shorter flowering stems, longer bloom time, and no dark coloration around the veins.
