Abstract
A new cultivar of Coprosma, ‘Pina Colada’, characterized by its wavy, glossy yellow-gold leaves that intensify in winter to orange-red, its deep red-orange margins, and a compact growth habit with short branch internodes.
Description
Botanical classification: Coprosma hybrid.
Cultivar designation: ‘Pina Colada’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Coprosma, botanically of hybrid origin and known as Coprosma ‘Pina Colada’ and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Pina Colada’. ‘Pina Colada’ is grown for use as a container plant and as a landscape shrub.
The new cultivar was discovered by the Inventor as a naturally occurring branch mutation of Coprosma cultivar ‘Tequila Sunrise’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,392) in a container in his nursery in the summer of 2006 in Cambridge, New Zealand.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor using terminal stem cuttings in Cambridge, New Zealand, in the summer of 2006. It has been determined that the characteristics of this cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar, which in combination distinguish ‘Pina Colada’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Coprosma.
-
- 1. ‘Pina Colada’ exhibits wavy, glossy leaves that are a distinct yellow-gold color with deep red-orange margins. The leaf color intensifies in the winter with more red tones.
- 2. ‘Pina Colada’ exhibits a compact growth habit with short branch internodes.
‘Pina Colada’ can be most closely compared to ‘Tequila Sunrise’, the parent plant. ‘Tequila Sunrise’ differs from ‘Pina Colada’ in having leaves that are predominately yellow-green in color with margins that are red-orange in color. In addition, the plant habit of ‘Pina Colada’ is more compact with shorter branch internodes than ‘Tequila Sunrise’. ‘Pina Colada’ can also be compared to ‘Yuanne’ (not patented), the parent plant of ‘Tequila Sunrise’ and ‘Evening Glow’ (not patented). ‘Yanne’ differs from ‘Pina Colada’ in having leaves that are more green in color and intensify to a dark brown in winter and in having leaves that are larger than those of ‘Pina Colada’. ‘Evening Glow’ differs from ‘Pina Colada’ in having leaves that are more green in color and that are flat in aspect rather than wavy.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Coprosma. The photographs were taken of a plant approximately twelve months in age as grown outdoors in a 20 cm container in Cambridge, New Zealand.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a an overall view of the plant habit of ‘Pina Colada’ and
the photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Pina Colada’.
The 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 Coprosma.
The following is a detailed description of twelve month old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in 20 cm containers in Cambridge, New Zealand. Plants were grown under average day temperatures of 18° to 24° C. and average night temperatures of 4° to 10° C. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
