Abstract
‘NCHA1’ is a new Hydrangea plant particularly distinguished by having a medium-sized, rounded, multi-stemmed shrub, a unique combination of compound, corymb inflorescences with prevalent sterile flowers and rose to pink colored sepals, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Hydrangea arborescens.
Variety denomination: ‘NCHA1’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea, botanically known as Hydrangea arborescens, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘NCHA1’. This new Hydrangea was developed through a breeding program at Mills River, N.C. ‘NCHA1’ originated as an open pollinated (F2) seedling from H. arborescens cultivar ‘H2005-045-061’ (unpatented) that was grouped in an isolation block with full sibling plants of the same parentage.
The first asexual propagation of ‘NCHA1’ was carried out in June 2006 by rooting stem cuttings at Mills River, N.C., USA and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings in North Carolina over a two year period. ‘NCHA1’ roots readily from softwood cuttings treated with a basal dip of 2,500–4,000 ppm indole butyric acid (potassium salt) in water. ‘NCHA1’ has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar have been applied for. ‘NCHA1’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices at Mills River, N.C., USA.
-
- 1. Medium-sized, rounded, multi-stemmed shrub;
- 2. Rose to pink colored sepals; and
- 3. Compound, corymb inflorescences with prevalent sterile flowers.
This new Hydrangea plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show the plant's form, foliage and inflorescences. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs were taken on 2-year-old plants in July 2008, growing under landscape conditions in Arden, N.C.
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘NCHA1’. The detailed description was taken on 2-year-old plants growing under landscape conditions in Arden, N.C., in July 2008. Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), 2001 Edition.
