Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Ditosdre’, characterized by its upright and mounding plant habit; freely branching and flowering habit; long flowering period; light purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Phlox paniculata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Ditosdre’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox, botanically known as Phlox paniculata and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Ditosdre’.
The new Phlox plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Phlox cultivars with attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Phlox plant originated from an open-pollination in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands in July, 2004, of Phlox paniculata ‘Uspech’, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with an unknown selection of Phlox paniculata, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phlox was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands in July, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phlox plant by cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands since January, 2006, has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Phlox 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 ‘Ditosdre’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ditosdre’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox:
-
- 1. Upright and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching and flowering habit.
- 3. Long flowering period.
- 4. Light purple-colored flowers.
- 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Phlox differ from plants of the female parent, ‘Uspech’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Phlox are more upright and sturdier than plants of ‘Uspech’.
- 2. Plants of the new Phlox are more freely branching than plants of ‘Uspech’.
- 3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Phlox are more uniform and fuller than inflorescences of plants of ‘Uspech’.
Plants of the new Phlox can also be compared to plants of Phlox paniculata ‘Junior Dream’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,059. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, plants of the new Phlox and ‘Junior Dream’ differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Phlox were stronger and sturdier than plants of ‘Junior Dream’.
- 2. Plants of the new Phlox were more freely branching than plants of ‘Junior Dream’.
- 3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Phlox were more uniform and fuller than inflorescences of plants of ‘Junior Dream’.
- 4. Flowers of plants of the new Phlox were darker in color than plants of ‘Junior Dream’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Phlox, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Phlox.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Ditosdre’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and flower buds of ‘Ditosdre’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Lancaster, Pa., under commercial practice during the summer in one-gallon containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse with day temperatures ranging from 13° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranging from 13° C. to 30° C. Plants were pinched one time and had been growing for 17 weeks when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
