Abstract
A new cultivar of Monarda didyma named ‘MCmum’ characterized by its large pink inflorescences that are present abundantly from July to early September, its compact, mounded plant habit, its medium size, its hardiness in U.S.D.A. Zones 3 to 8, and its dark green foliage that has shown resistance to powdery mildew.
Description
Botanical classification: Monarda didyma.
Variety denomination: ‘MCmum’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Monarda didyma. The new cultivar will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘MCmum’. ‘MCmum’ is a new variety of bee balm suitable for landscape plantings.
The new cultivar of Monarda was a selection from an on going breeding program by the Inventor in Morden, Manitoba, Canada. The Inventor allowed open pollination to occur between specific unnamed plants in his breeding line and pooled all the resulting seed from his crosses and evaluated the resulting seedlings based on the objectives of the breeding program. The specific parents are unknown. The Inventor selected ‘MCmum’ as a single unique plant in summer of 2007.
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by the Inventor by stem cuttings in Morden, Manitoba, Canada in 2008. Asexual propagation in Morden, Manitoba, Canada and St. Paul, Minn. has 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 Monarda as observed for a period of three years in Morden, Manitoba, Canada and St. Paul, Minn. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘MCmum’ as a unique cultivar of Monarda.
-
- 1. ‘MCmum’ exhibits large pink inflorescences with high flower count.
- 2. ‘MCmum’ blooms abundantly from July to early September.
- 3. ‘MCmum’ exhibits dark green foliage.
- 4. ‘MCmum’ exhibits a mid-sized, compact and mounded habit.
- 5. ‘MCmum’ has shown good resistance to powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca pannosa var. rosa) under the conditions tested.
- 6. ‘MCmum’ is hardy in U.S.D.A. Zones 3 to 8.
The new cultivar of Monarda can be readily distinguished from other cultivars. ‘Petite Delight’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,784), ‘AChall’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,582) and ‘ACrade’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,580) are the closest comparison cultivars known to the Inventor. Monarda ‘Petite Delight’ differs from ‘MCmum’ in having larger, purple-violet inflorescences and a smaller plant size. ‘AChall’ differs from ‘MCmum’ in having larger, fuschia-purple inflorescences, an upright habit, and a smaller size. ‘ACrade’ differs from ‘MCmum’ in having purple-violet inflorescences and a smaller plant size.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Monarda, ‘MCmum’, as grown outdoors in a trial plots in Morden, Manitoba, Canada. The plants were approximately three years in age and the photographs were taken in mid summer.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the digital photography and printing techniques utilized and the color codes in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the new Monarda.
The detailed botanical data was collected on plants about one year in age as grown in one-gallon containers in St. Paul, Minn. with the mature height and spread, disease resistance and cold hardiness describing plants that were field grown for three years in Morden, Manitoba, Canada and St. Paul, Minn. 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 2007 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
