Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Juniper plant named ‘Hegedus’, characterized by its compact and outwardly spreading to prostrate plant form; yellow green-colored developing leaves becoming bright green when fully developed; and foliage that is soft to the touch.
Description
Botanical designation: Juniperus horizontalis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘HEGEDUS’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Juniper plant, botanically known as Juniperus horizontalis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Hegedus’.
The new Juniper plant is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of Juniperus horizontalis ‘Hughes’, not patented. The new Juniper plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor on a single plant within a population of plants of ‘Hughes’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Geneva, Ohio.
Asexual reproduction of the new Juniper plant by hardwood cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Grand Haven, Mich. has shown that the unique features of this new Juniper plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Juniper have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Hegedus’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Hegedus’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Juniper plant:
-
- 1. Compact and outwardly spreading to prostrate plant form.
- 2. Yellow green-colored developing leaves becoming bright green when fully developed.
- 3. Foliage that is soft to the touch.
Plants of the new Juniper can be compared to plants of the mutation parent, ‘Hughes’. Plants of the new Juniper differ primarily from plants of ‘Hughes’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Juniper and ‘Hughes’ differ in leaf color as plants of ‘Hughes’ have dark green-colored leaves.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Juniper are softer to the touch than and not as prickly as leaves of plants of ‘Hughes’.
Plants of the new Juniper can also be compared to plants of Juniperus horizontalis ‘Mother Lode’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,948. Plants of the new Juniper differ primarily from plants of ‘Mother Lode’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Juniper are taller than plants of ‘Mother Lode’.
- 2. Plants of the new Juniper are faster growing than plants of ‘Mother Lode’.
- 3. Plants of the new Juniper are more prostrate than and not as procumbent as plants of ‘Mother Lode’.
- 4. Leaves of plants of the new Juniper are softer to the touch than and not as prickly as leaves of plants of ‘Mother Lode’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Juniper 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 Juniper plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Hegedus’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a top perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Hegedus’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements were grown in Grand Haven, Mich. during the spring and summer in 3-gallon containers in an outdoor nursery in Grand Haven, Mich. Plants were grown under conditions which approximate commercial Juniper plant production. Plants were three years old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
