Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant named ‘Jane’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; strong and sturdy stems that hold inflorescences upright; and large mophead-type inflorescences with numerous light green-colored sterile flowers that with development become greyed purple in color.

Description

Botanical designation: Hydrangea paniculata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘JANE’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant, botanically known as Hydrangea paniculata and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Jane’.
The new Hydrangea plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact Hydrangea plants with strong stems and attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Hydrangea plant originated from an open-pollination in August, 2005 of the Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight Variegated’, not patented, as the female, or seed parent and an unknown selection of Hydrangea paniculata as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Hydrangea plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in June, 2007 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by softwood cuttings in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since June, 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Hydrangea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Hydrangea 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 ‘Jane’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Jane’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant:
    • 1. Compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Strong and sturdy stems that hold inflorescences upright.
    • 4. Large mophead-type inflorescences with numerous light green-colored sterile flowers that with development become greyed purple in color.
Plants of the new Hydrangea differ from plants of the female parent, ‘Limelight Variegated’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hydrangea are more compact than plants of ‘Limelight Variegated’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hydrangea have solid green-colored leaves whereas plants of ‘Limelight Variegated’ have variegated leaves.
    • 3. Plants of the new Hydrangea have darker green-colored sterile flowers than plants of ‘Limelight Variegated’; additionally, with development, sterile flowers of plants of ‘Limelight Variegated’ become white in color.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can be compared to plants of Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,874. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Hydrangea differ from plants of ‘Limelight’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hydrangea are more compact than plants of ‘Limelight’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hydrangea have smaller leaves than plants of ‘Limelight’.
    • 3. Sterile flowers of plants of the new Hydrangea have thicker sepals than sterile flowers of plants of ‘Limelight’.
    • 4. With development, sterile flowers of plants of the new Hydrangea become greyed purple in color whereas sterile flowers of plants of ‘Limelight’ become white in color.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can also be compared to plants of Hydrangea paniculata ‘Little Lamb’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,395. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Hydrangea differ from plants of ‘Little Lamb’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hydrangea have stronger stems and peduncles than plants of ‘Little Lamb’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hydrangea and ‘Little Lamb’ differ in sterile flower color as plants of ‘Little Lamb’ have white-colored sterile flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the unique appearance of the new Hydrangea 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 from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Hydrangea plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Jane’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Jane’ at various stages of development.
