Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant named ‘Sonmarie’, characterized by its relatively compact, upright and mounded plant habit; strong and sturdy stems; and large hemispherical inflorescences with numerous light red purple-colored sterile flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Hydrangea macrophylla.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sonmarie’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea, botanically known as Hydrangea macrophylla and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sonmarie’.
The new Hydrangea is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of an unnamed selection of Hydrangea macrophylla, not patented. The new Hydrangea was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1998 as a single flowering plant within a population of plants of the unnamed selection in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Nashville, Tenn.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by softwood cuttings in a controlled environment in Kingston, Tenn. since 2001 has shown that the unique features of this new Hydrangea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Hydrangea have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature 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 ‘Sonmarie’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sonmarie’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea:
-
- 1. Relatively compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Strong and sturdy stems.
- 3. Large hemispherical inflorescences with numerous light red purple-colored sterile flowers. Plants of the new Hydrangea differ from plants of the parent selection primarily in plant size as plants of the new Hydrangea are more compact than plants of the parent selection.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can be compared to plants of Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Alpenglow’, not patented. Plants of the new Hydrangea differ from plants of ‘Alpenglow’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hydrangea are more compact than and not as vigorous as plants of ‘Alpenglow’.
- 2. Plants of the new Hydrangea are more freely branching than plants of ‘Alpenglow’.
- 3. Plants of the new Hydrangea have stronger and sturdier stems than plants of ‘Alpenglow’.
- 4. Plants of the new Hydrangea have smaller leaves than plants of ‘Alpenglow’.
- 5. Inflorescences of plants of the new Hydrangeas had more flowers than inflorescences of plants of ‘Alpenglow’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the unique appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Hydrangea.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sonmarie’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Sonmarie’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and the following description were grown during the spring in Grand Haven, Mich. in ground beds in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions. Plants of the new Hydrangea had been growing for two years when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
