Abstract

A new and distinct Clematis cultivar named ‘UNAI 001’ is disclosed, characterized by good resistance to normal diseases and pests of Clematis, continuous flowering from May through September, with flower buds continuously produced from the leaf axils. Plants are exceptionally floriferous and produce tepals colored Violet to Violet-Purple. The new cultivar is a Clematis, suitable for ornamental garden purposes.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Clematis jackmanii.
Variety denomination: ‘UNAI 001’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor that began in 1978. In 1982 the inventor, Aili Kivistik a citizen of Estonia, organized a group of unnamed, unpatented Clematis jackmanii varieties for an open pollination breeding project. Seeds originating from this open pollination were planted out, and the new variety was selected in 1985. Specific parents of the new variety are unknown, as the seed was bulk collected, without noting the variety collected from. All work was conducted at a non-commercial nursery in Roogoja, Estonia.
In 1989 the inventor first propagated ‘UNAI 001’ by vegetative cuttings at the same non-commercial nursery in Roogoja, Estonia. Subsequent generations have shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘UNAI 001’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘UNAI 001’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘UNAI 001’ as a new and distinct Clematis cultivar:
    • 1. Good resistance to diseases and pests common to Clematis.
    • 2. Continuous flowering from May through September.
    • 3. Very floriferous plants.
    • 4. Flower buds produced continuously from the leaf axils.
    • 5. Purple-Violet to Purple tepal coloration.
COMPARISON TO KNOWN VARIETIES
Plants of the new cultivar ‘UNAI 001’ are similar to known forms of Clematis jackmanii in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘UNAI 001’ produce flowers with larger, and more tepals than common forms of Clematis jackmanii known to the inventor. Additionally, plants of ‘UNAI 001’ flower continuously from May through September, whereas many known forms of Clematis jackmanii flower reliably 2 months only.
The new cultivar ‘UNAI 001’ can also be compared to the known variety Clematis jackmanii ‘Superba’. Plants are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar produces flowers with 6 to 8 tepals, compared to 4 tepals on Clematis ‘Superba’. Additionally the new cultivar begins blooming one month earlier.
The new cultivar ‘UNAI 001’ can also be compared to the known variety Clematis jackmanii ‘Tie Dye’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,913. Plants are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar produces flowers that are larger, with more tepals. Additionally the new cultivar begins blooming one month earlier, and flowers one month later than ‘Tie Dye’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a close up of typical foliage and the reverse side of flowers of ‘UNAI 001’.
FIG. 2 shows a close up of a typical flower of ‘UNAI 001’ grown outdoors in Estonia.
The plant is less than one year old. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
