Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of hardy herbaceous Hibiscus hybrid plant named ‘Cranberry Crush’ comprising a naturally-short, compact, heavy-branching habit; also dark-green leaves with purple overtones and with a multitude of scarlet-red to dark-red slightly cupped flowers over at least 12 weeks during the summer until frost The new plant, Hibiscus ‘Cranberry Crush’ does not need to be pinched or sprayed with plant growth regulators to keep short and compact.
Description
Botanical classification: Hibiscus hybrid (L.).
Variety denomination: ‘Cranberry Crush’.
The present invention relates to the new and distinct hardy, herbaceous, hibiscus plant, Hibiscus ‘ Cranberry Crush’ hybridized by Clarence H. Falstad in the summer of 2006 at a nursery in Zeeland, Mich. The new plant, originally labeled # 06-87-02, is from a cross between the proprietary hybrid # 04-24-01 (not patented) (female pod parent) times the proprietary hybrid # 04-17-13 (not patented) (male pollen parent). Both parents have a complex mixture of species in them, most likely including the species: moscheutos, coccineus, laevis. Hibiscus ‘ Cranberry Crush’ has been propagated both by stem cuttings and tissue culture at the same nursery in Zeeland, Mich. The resultant plants have been found to be stable and true to type. in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Hibiscus ‘Cranberry Crush’ differs from its parents as well as all other hardy hibiscus known to the applicant in many traits. The foliage color of ‘Cranberry Crush’ is a dark green with burgundy tinting. The foliage shape of ‘Cranberry Crush’ is variable, depending on the time of year and position on the stem. Most leaves are hastate to palmatifid with some either young leaves or those on immature plants being ovate. The flowers of ‘Cranberry Crush’ are slightly cupped with shiny scarlet-red to dark-red petals. The most similar hibiscus to ‘Cranberry Crush’ is Hibiscus ‘Robert Fleming’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,776. The new plant has a similar scarlet-red to dark-red flower color, but the new plant has more lustrous inner petal surface, is more densely branched and floriferous, and the foliage of the new plant has finer texture, more deeply cleft, is more lustrous, and less rugose than ‘Robert Fleming’.
Hibiscus ‘Cranberry Crush’ is a unique hardy herbaceous hibiscus with the following combined traits:
-
- 1. Naturally short, rounded habit with dense heavy branching.
- 2. Many slightly-cupped flowers with lustrous scarlet-red to dark-red petals.
- 3. Fine textured foliage of dark green with purple overtones.
The photographs of the new plant demonstrate the overall appearance of the plant, including the unique traits. The colors are as accurate as reasonably possible with color reproductions. Ambient light spectrum, source and direction may cause the appearance of minor variation in color.
The following descriptions and color references are based on the 2001 edition of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where common dictionary terms are used. The new plant, Hibiscus ‘Cranberry Crush’, has not been observed under all possible environments. The phenotype may vary slightly with different environmental conditions, such as temperature, light, fertility, moisture and maturity levels, but without any change in the genotype. The following observations and size descriptions are of two-year old and three-year old plants in the loamy-sand open field trials of a nursery in Zeeland, Mich. with supplemental fertilizer and water as needed. The plants are natural habit and were not treated with plant growth regulators, nor were they pinched at any time in the growth year.
