Abstract
A new cultivar of Physocarpus, ‘Jefam’, that is characterized by its unique foliage coloration with leaves that emerges bright orange in spring, turn green on older wood, and become purple in fall, its oblate plant shape and its compact plant habit.
Description
Genus/species: Physocarpus opulifolius.
Varietal denomination: ‘Jefam’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Physocarpus opulifolius and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Jefam’. ‘Jefam’ represents a new cultivar of Physocarpus, a deciduous shrub grown for landscape use.
The new Physocarpus arose from a breeding program conducted by the Inventor at a nursery in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Physocarpus cultivars with unique foliage color combined with compact plant habits.
The new Physocarpus originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in spring of 2003. The female parent was Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Monlo’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,211) and the male parent was Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Dart's Gold’ (not patented). ‘Jefam’ was selected as a unique single plant from the progeny resulting from the cross-pollination in spring of 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by softwood cuttings in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada by the Inventor. 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 Physocarpus. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Jefam’ as unique and distinct from all other cultivars of Physocarpus known to the Inventor.
-
- 1. The new foliage of ‘Jefam’ emerges bright orange in color in spring.
- 2. The foliage of ‘Jefam’ is green in color on older wood and new growth in summer.
- 3. The new foliage of ‘Jefam’ is purple in color in fall.
- 4. The plant habit of ‘Jefam’ is oblate in shape and compact.
‘Jefam’ is most closely compared to its parent plants. ‘Monlo’, the female parent, differs from ‘Jefam’ in having foliage that is green in color in spring and purple in color on older wood. ‘Dart's Gold’, the male parent, differs from ‘Jefam’ in having foliage that is yellow to gold in color in spring and bronze in color in fall. ‘Jefam’ can also be compared to ‘Center Glow’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,894). ‘Center Glow’ differs from ‘Jefam’ in having foliage that emerges bright red with a gold region near the leaf base in spring and gradually changing to purple-red in summer and fall.
The accompanying photographs were taken of a three year-old plant of ‘Jefam’ as grown outdoors in a trial bed Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada and are representative of the of the new Physocarpus.
The photograph in FIG. 1 was taken in spring and provides a view of the plant habit of ‘Jefam’.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the spring foliage of ‘Jefam’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the fall foliage of ‘Jefam’.
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 Physocarpus.
The following is a detailed description of two year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in 2-gallon containers in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. Phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
