Abstract
A new cultivar of Tiarella cordifolia, ‘Stephanie Cohen’, characterized by its compact mounding clump growth habit, its white flowers on single and branched flower racemes that emerge from pink flower buds, its unique foliage coloration with ovate, glossy, rugose, deeply lobed leaves with maroon center markings, in fall the leaves turn darker green and in winter the foliage is purple-red and remains glossy, and its ability to form dense stands particularly suited for garden border planting, ornamental ground cover, shaded areas, and ecology and restoration planting.
Description
Botanical classification: Tiarella cordifolia.
Cultivar designation: ‘Stephanie Cohen’.
This application is co-pending with a U.S. Plant Patent Application filed for a plant derived the Inventor's breeding program that is entitled Tiarella Plant Named ‘FM Mooberry’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/806,640).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Tiarella plant, botanically known as Tiarella cordifolia ‘Stephanie Cohen’ and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Stephanie Cohen’.
The Inventor discovered the new cultivar, ‘Stephanie Cohen’, in a trial plot at his nursery in Coatesville, Pa., in 2007. The parentage of the new variety is the result of open-pollinated plants of Tiarella cordifolia, and Tiarella cordifolia var. collina. The exact parentage is unknown as several hundred cultivars and unnamed plants from the Inventors breeding program were grown for seed production. The new cultivar, ‘Stephanie Cohen’, was selected for its unique growth habit, flower stem branching, and distinctive foliage coloration throughout the growing season.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by division in Coatesville, Pa. by the Inventor in 2007. Propagation by division and subsequently by tissue culture 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 ‘Stephanie Cohen’. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Stephanie Cohen’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Tiarella.
-
- 1. ‘Stephanie Cohen’ exhibits a compact mounding clump growth habit.
- 2. ‘Stephanie Cohen’ exhibits white flowers on single and branched flower racemes that emerge from pink flower buds.
- 3. ‘Stephanie Cohen’ exhibits unique foliage coloration with ovate, glossy, rugose, deeply lobed leaves with maroon center markings, in fall the leaves turn darker green and in winter the foliage is purple-red and remains glossy.
- 4. ‘Stephanie Cohen’ forms form dense stands particularly suited for garden border planting, ornamental ground cover, shaded areas, and ecology and restoration planting.
‘Stephanie Cohen’ can be most closely compared to ‘FM Mooberry’, which is similar in having a clump-forming plant habit. ‘FM Mooberry’ differs most significantly from ‘Stephanie Cohen’ in having leaves that are less deeply lobed with larger maroon marking and in having less glossy foliage. In addition, the white flowers of ‘FM Mooberry’ emerge from white flower buds rather than pink. ‘Stephanie Cohen’ can also be compared the cultivar ‘Brandywine’ (not patented), which is similar in having a clump-forming plant habit. ‘Stephanie Cohen’ differs from ‘Brandywine’ in foliage that is more finely dissected and much glossier and in having flower buds that are pink in color rather than white.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Tiarella. The photographs were taken of two year-old plants of ‘Stephanie Cohen’ as grown outdoors in one-gallon containers in Coatesville, Pa.
The photograph in FIG. 1 was taken in April and illustrates the spring foliage and flower buds.
The photograph in FIG. 2 was taken in May and provides a close-up view of the mature foliage and blooms of ‘Stephanie Cohen’. 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 more accurately describe the colors of the new Tiarella.
The following is a detailed description of two-year-old plants grown outdoors and in the greenhouse in one-gallon containers during 2007 and 2008 at Coatesville, Pa., USA. 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.
