Abstract
A new phlox plant particularly distinguished by hot pink flower color, compact plant habit, healthy foliage and good mildew resistance, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Phlox paniculata.
Variety denomination: ‘Cosmopolitan’
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of phlox, botanically known as Phlox paniculata, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Cosmopolitan’. The new cultivar originated from an open pollination in 2005 in Haarlem, The Netherlands between unknown male and female Phlox paniculata plants.
The new cultivar was selected from the results of the open pollination in 2006 in Haarlem, The Netherlands and has been asexually reproduced through two generations by vegetative cuttings in Haarlem, The Netherlands since that time. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Haarlem, The Netherlands.
-
- 1. Hot pink flower color;
- 2. Very compact habit;
- 3. Healthy foliage; and
- 4. Good mildew resistance.
This new phlox plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show blooms and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs are of a 2 year-old plant grown in a greenhouse in Haarlem, The Netherlands.
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Cosmopolitan’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Haarlem, The Netherlands. The plant history was taken in August on 1 year old plants which were planted and grown outdoors in daytime temperatures between 14° C. and 32° C., and nighttime temperatures between 5° C. and 15° C. No pinchings, growth retardants or photoperiodic treatments were used. Observations were made when the plants were in natural outdoor light. Color reference primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (2001).
