Abstract
A new and distinct Heuchera plant substantially as shown and described, characterized by shiny, ruffled, red-brown leaves and good vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heuchera hybrida.
Variety designation: ‘Mahogany’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera hybrida and given the cultivar name of ‘Mahogany’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Mahogany’ originated from a cross between Heuchera 123-1 (a proprietary unreleased plant), as the seed parent, and Heuchera 148-10 (a proprietary unreleased plant), as the pollen parent. Given its ornamental foliage and flower form it is probable that Heuchera micrantha, H. americana, H. brizoides, and H. sanguinea are in its parentage.
This new Heuchera is distinguished by:
-
- 1. Shiny, red-brown, ruffled leaves.
- 2. Good vigor.
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 cultivar based on observations of a one-year-old specimen grown in a 1 gallon container in a cool greenhouse in March 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.
