Abstract

A new variety of clematis plant named ‘American Beauty’. The variety is characterized by it's unique color combination of red, white and blue.

Description

Botanical classification: Clematis sp.
Cultivar designation: ‘American Beauty’.
BACKGROUND OF THE VARIETY
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of hybrid clematis plant known by the cultivar name ‘American Beauty’.
The new variety was a seedling found growing in a controlled planting of clematis display garden at a clematis nursery in Walworth, N.Y. in 2002. Plants were asexually propagated and observed over the next four years. Asexual propagation by vegetative cuttings has shown that the propagules are identical to the original plant in all distinguished characteristics. The stability of the variety is evidenced by the distinguished characteristics remaining true to form from generation to generation. The parentage of the variety is unknown.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other present available and known commercial clematis cultivars are the unique color of the flower, plus its long blooming period. The flower has violet tepals with darker red bar fading at tepal point. The unique three color variations going from red, white and blue.
RELEVANT PRIOR ART
The new variety is some what similar in appearance to Clematis sp. ‘Etiole de Malicorne’ variety as shown in Spring Valley, Inc. (6th Edition) on page 3. Both flowers are similar in that they both have 6 tepals. The tepals are broader on ‘American Beauty’ and the bar is brighter and more vivid. ‘American Beauty’ has a more compact growth habit that is ideal for containers. The time of bloom is similar but ‘American Beauty’ has more flowers per stem.
BRIEF DISCRITION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new variety. The flowering and foliage colors as shown are, within the limitations of color photography, accurate and true reproductions of the actual colors of new variety.
The photographic view is a front elevation of typical Clematis sp. ‘American Beauty’.
We are also including a photograph showing flower bud formations, showing the profuse blooming nature of the plant.
