Abstract
A new and distinct Miscanthus cultivar named ‘Lottum’ is disclosed, characterized by rapid, vigorous growth, and long, green leaves, marked with golden yellow blotches.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Miscanthus giganteus.
Variety denomination: ‘Lottum’.
The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor, Johannes Vergeldt, a citizen of the Netherlands in July of 1999 as a naturally occurring, whole plant mutation in a commercial nursery in Lottum, the Netherlands. The parent variety is an unnamed variety of Miscanthus giganteus.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Lottum’ was first performed in Lottum, the Netherlands by vegetative division in June 2006. Subsequently, at least 6 generations of ‘Lottum’ have been reproduced and have shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘Lottum’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Lottum’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Lottum’ as a new and distinct Miscanthus cultivar:
-
- 1. Fast growth habit, reaching a height of at least 2 meters in one growing season, in the Netherlands.
- 2. Distinctive yellow blotches over green foliage.
- 3. Very long leaves, at least 1 meter longer than comparable yellow and green varieties.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Lottum’ are similar to plants of the parent variety Miscanthus giganteus in most horticultural characteristics, however, ‘Lottum’ has distinctive yellow and green foliage while the parent variety produces only green foliage.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Lottum’ can be compared to the commercial variety Miscanthus sinensus ‘Zebrinus,’ unpatented. Plants of the ‘Zebrinus’ have a similar foliage coloration. However, plants of the new cultivar ‘Lottum’ grow to 2 meters in height, whereas plants of ‘Zebrinus’ only grow to 1 meter high.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘Lottum’ grown outdoors in Lottum, the Netherlands. This plant is approximately 2 years old, shown growing in the ground. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘Lottum’ plants grown outdoors in the Netherlands. Temperatures ranged from 0° C. to 9° C. at night to 7° C. to 13° C. during the day. No artificial light, photoperiodic treatments or chemical treatments were given to the plants. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
