Abstract
A new and distinct Heucherella plant substantially as shown and described, characterized by yellow spring leaves which change to lime green and pink tones in the fall with a strong red pattern along the veins and a white overlay throughout, large, distinctive, palmately lobed leaves, large plant size, small white flowers, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heucherella hybrid.
Variety designation: ‘Alabama Sunrise’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heucherella and given the cultivar name of ‘Alabama Sunrise’. Heucherella is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heucherella ‘Alabama Sunrise’ originated from a controlled cross between Heuchera ‘V3’ (a proprietary unreleased Heuchera villosa hybrid), as the seed parent, and massed selected Tiarella, as the pollen parent. The offspring were extremely variable and interesting. This is the first selected variety.
This new Heucherella is distinguished by:
-
- 1. yellow spring leaves with a strong red pattern along the veins and a slight white overlay throughout,
- 2. base color of yellow green and lime green on the summer leaves with pink tones on the oldest leaves,
- 3. large, distinctive, palmately lobed leaves,
- 4. large plant size,
- 5. and excellent 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 asexual 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 Heucherella cultivar based on observations of a two-year-old specimen growing in a 2 gallon container in a cool greenhouse 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 ‘V3’ (unpatented), the new variety is lobed and greener with a red purple blotch along the vein compared to no blotch.
Compared to the pollen parent, one of a Tiarella mass, the new variety has yellow foliage in spring and summer rather than green.
Compared to Heucherella ‘Kimono’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,154), this new variety has spring and early summer foliage that is yellow rather than green. Leaf shape and plant habit are similar.
Compared to Heucherella ‘Sunspot’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,825), this new variety has larger and more narrowly lobed leaves, a larger habit, and white rather than pink flowers.
