Abstract

A new and distinct Hydrangea plant having red/white-colored flowers and black-colored, strong stems.

Description

Botanical classification: Hydrangea macrophylla.
Varietal denomination: ‘STRADA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant known by the varietal name ‘Strada’. The new variety was discovered in 2003 in a planned breeding program in Salgen-Hausen, Germany. The purpose of the breeding program was to develop Hydrangeas with improved flower colors and black stems. The new variety is the result of a cross between seedling G6 (female parent, unpatented) and ‘Mars’ (male parent, unpatented). The black stem color of ‘Strada’ is similar to its female parent, but it differs from seedling G6 in flower color. The flowers of ‘Strada’ are similar to ‘Mars’, but its leaf shape, black stem and flower color are different from ‘Mars’. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in 2004 via propagation by cuttings in Salgen-Hausen, Germany. The new variety has been trial and field tested in Germany and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The following traits distinguish ‘Strada’ as a new and distinct cultivar from other Hydrangea varieties known to the breeder:
    • 1. Black stem color instead of green stem color;
    • 2. Red/White flower color;
    • 3. Frost resistance;
    • 4. Stem strength; and
    • 5. Mold resistance, such as Botrytis.
‘Strada’ is similar to another Hydrangea variety, ‘Stramalyn’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/384,252), because they both have black stems that are strong. However, ‘Strada’ differs from ‘Stramalyn’ in flower color.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the new variety; and
FIG. 2 is a close-up photograph of an inflorescence of the new variety.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The plants were grown in 15 cm. pots, 8 per m2, in ordinary potting soil with granulated fertilizers at a pH of 6.0. The plants were two years old when described. Measurements and color readings of the plants were taken in Salgen-Hausen, Germany under natural light. Color references are primarily to the HTML Color Chart.
