Abstract
A new cultivar of hybrid Clematis, ‘Zodaki’, characterized by its floriferous habits, its flowers that are white in color with purple anthers, its primarily upright facing flowers on semi-nodding pedicels with good presentation, its near sterility, and its cold hardiness at least to U.S.D.A. Zone 6.
Description
Botanical classification: Clematis hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Zofofri’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Clematis, botanically an interspecific hybrid, and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name ‘Zofofri’. ‘Zofofri’ is grown as an herbaceous perennial for landscape use or as a terrace pot plant.
‘Zofofri’ was derived from seedlings raised by the breeder from crossbreeding Clematis ‘Mrs. George Jackman’ (unpatented) pollinated by Clematis ‘Walenburg’ (unpatented). The crossbreeding was done in 2000, the seedling ‘Zofofri’ was selected was selected as a single unique plant from the batch of seedlings in 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by internodial stem cuttings by the Inventor in Boskoop, The Netherlands in 2003. The characteristics of this cultivar have been determined to be stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar as grown outdoors. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Zofofri’ from other varieties of Clematis known to the inventor.
-
- 1. ‘Zofofri’ exhibits a very floriferous habit.
- 2. ‘Zofofri’ exhibits flowers that are white in color with purple anthers.
- 3. ‘Zofofri’ exhibits primarily upright facing flowers on semi-nodding pedicels with good presentation.
- 4. ‘Zofofri’ has been observed to be essentially sterile; very rarely are any seed is produced.
- 5. ‘Zofofri’ is cold hardy at least to U.S.D.A. 6.
‘Zofofri’ can be most closely compared to its parent plants. ‘Mrs. George Jackman’, the seed parent, differs primarily from ‘Zofofri’ in having a much less floriferous habit and in having flowers that are not nodding and pink in color. ‘Walenburg’, the pollen parent, differs primarily from ‘Zofofri’ in having flowers that are purple-red in color and in having smaller flowers.
‘Zofofri’ can be compared to the cultivar ‘Huldine’ (not patented) and ‘John Huxtable’ (not unpatented). ‘Zofofri’ exhibits flowers that are nodding or semi-nodding, nodding flower buds, tepals which are white in color and purple connective. ‘Huldine’ differs from ‘Zofofri’ in having flowers that are upright, upright flower buds and the tepals that are white at the upper surface and pale purple at the lower surface, and cream connective. ‘John Huxtable’ differs from ‘Zofofri’ in having flowers that are upright, upright flower buds, tepals which are white in color and cream connective.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of Clematis ‘Zofofri’. The photographs were taken of plants of ‘Zofofri’ that were grown outdoors for three years in a trial bed in Boskoop, The Netherlands.
The colors of the photographs are as close as possible with the digital photography techniques available, the color values cited in the detailed botanical description describe the colors as accurately as possible of the new Clematis.
The following is a detailed description of 3 year-old plants Clematis ‘Zofofri’ as grown outdoors in full sun to semi-shade at a nursery in Boskoop, The Netherlands. The phenotype of Clematis ‘Zofofri’ may vary with variations in environmental, climatic and cultural conditions, as the cultivar has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The International Nomenclatural Standard is deposited at the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Leiden Branch (L).
