Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Nadia’, characterized by its upright plant habit; dark-green colored leaves; freely flowering habit; red purple-colored flowers; and good cut flower and garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Phlox paniculata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘NADIA’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant, botanically known as Phlox paniculata and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Nadia’.
The new Phlox plant originated from a cross-pollination of two unnamed proprietary selections of Phlox paniculata, not patented, in 2002. The new Phlox was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Hillegom, The Netherlands in July, 2004.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phlox plant by cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Hillegom, The Netherlands since 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 ‘Nadia’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Nadia’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox:
-
- 1. Upright plant habit.
- 2. Dark-green colored leaves.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Red purple-colored flowers.
- 5. Good cut flower and garden performance.
Plants of the new Phlox and the parent selections differ primarily in leaf and flower color.
Plants of the new Phlox can also be compared to plants of Phlox paniculata ‘Starfire’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Hillegom, The Netherlands, plants of the new Phlox and ‘Starfire’ differed primarily in leaf and flower color as plants of ‘Starfire’ had lighter green-colored leaves and red-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Phlox were shorter than plants of ‘Starfire’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Phlox plant, 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 plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Nadia’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Nadia’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Nadia’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Hillegom, The Netherlands, under commercial practice during September in an outdoor nursery with day temperatures ranging from 12° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranging from 4° C. to 16° C. Plants were one year old 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.
