Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Kerria plant named ‘Shandale’, characterized by its compact, upright, outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; suitable for container production; relatively vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; green and white variegated foliage; dark yellow-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Kerria japonica.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SHANDALE’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kerria plant, botanically known as Kerria japonica and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Shandale’.
The new Kerria plant is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of Kerria japonica ‘Shannon’, not patented. The new Kerria plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in June, 2003 on a single plant of ‘Shannon’ within a population of plants of ‘Shannon’ in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Grand Haven, Mich. The new Kerria plant was selected on the basis of its variegated foliage.
Asexual reproduction of the new Kerria plant by softwood cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since May, 2004 has shown that the unique features of this new Kerria plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Kerria 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 ‘Shandale’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Shandale’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Kerria:
-
- 1. Compact, upright, outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; suitable for container production.
- 2. Relatively vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Green and white variegated foliage.
- 5. Dark yellow-colored flowers.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Kerria can be compared to plants of the parent, ‘Shannon’. Plants of the new Kerria differ from plants of ‘Shannon’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Kerria are more compact than plants of ‘Shannon’.
- 2. Plants of the new Kerria have variegated leaves whereas plants of ‘Shannon’ do not have variegated leaves.
- 3. Plants of the new Kerria have smaller flowers than plants of ‘Shannon’.
Plants of the new Kerria can be compared to plants of the Kerria japonica ‘Picta’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Kerria differed from plants of ‘Picta’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Kerria were more compact and mounding than plants of ‘Picta’.
- 2. Plants of the new Kerria were more vigorous than plants of ‘Picta’.
- 3. Plants of the new Kerria had larger flowers than plants of ‘Picta’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Kerria 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 Kerria plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Shandale’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical plant of ‘Shandale’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower and leaves of ‘Shandale’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in ground beds in an outdoor nursery in Grand Haven, Mich. during the summer and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. Plants were three years old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
