Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Caryopteris plant named ‘Janice’, characterized by its compact and low mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; full and dense plants; yellow green-colored leaves that do not burn under full sun conditions; freely flowering habit; and violet blue-colored flowers that are held above and beyond the foliar plane.

Description

Botanical designation: Caryopteris×clandonensis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘JANICE’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Caryopteris plant, botanically known as Caryopteris×clandonensis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Janice’.
The new Caryopteris plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact, freely-flowering and vigorous Caryopteris plants with attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Caryopteris plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in August, 2005 in Grand Haven, Mich. of Caryopteris×clandonensis ‘Minibleu’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,674, as the female, or seed, parent with Caryopteris×clandonensis ‘Jason’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/878,606 (Abandoned), as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Caryopteris plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. during the summer of 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Caryopteris plant by softwood cuttings in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since June, 2007, has shown that the unique features of this new Caryopteris plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Janice has 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 ‘Janice’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Janice’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Caryopteris plant:
    • 1. Compact and low mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit; full and dense plants.
    • 4. Yellow green-colored leaves that do not burn under full sun conditions.
    • 5. Freely flowering habit.
    • 6. Violet blue-colored flowers that are held above and beyond the foliar plane.
Plants of the new Caryopteris can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Minibleu’. Plants of the new Caryopteris differ from plants of ‘Minibleu’ primarily in leaf coloration as plants of ‘Minibleu’ have dark green-colored leaves.
Plants of the new Caryopteris can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Jason’. Plants of the new Caryopteris differ from plants of ‘Jason’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Caryopteris are more compact than plants of ‘Jason’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Caryopteris are denser than and not as open as plants of ‘Jason’.
    • 3. Leaves of plants of the new Caryopteris are glossier than leaves of plants of ‘Jason’.
Plants of the new Caryopteris can be compared to plants of Caryopteris incana ‘Worcester Gold’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Caryopteris differed from plants of ‘Worcester Gold’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Caryopteris were more compact than plants of ‘Worcester Gold’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Caryopteris were more uniform than plants of ‘Worcester Gold’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Caryopteris are more freely branching and denser than plants of ‘Worcester Gold’.
    • 4. Leaves of plants of the new Caryopteris were glossier than leaves of plants of ‘Worcester Gold’.
    • 5. Leaves of plants of the new Caryopteris did not burn under full sun conditions whereas leaves of plants of ‘Worcester Gold’ burned under full sun conditions.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Caryopteris 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 Caryopteris plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Janice’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Janice’.
