Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Clematis plant named ‘Diamond Ball’ characterized by its upright, relatively compact and vining plant habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; and semi-double to double violet blue-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Clematis hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DIAMOND BALL’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Clematis plant, botanically known as Clematis hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Diamond Ball’.
The new Clematis plant originated from an open-pollination in Pruszków, Poland of an unidentified selection of Clematis hybrida, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with an unknown selection of Clematis hybrida, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Clematis plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant in a controlled environment in Pruszków, Poland in 1999.
Asexual reproduction of the new Clematis plant by cuttings in Pruszków, Poland since June, 2001 has shown that the unique features of this new Clematis plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Clematis have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Diamond Ball’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Diamond Ball’ as a new and distinct Clematis plant:
    • 1. Upright, relatively compact and vining plant habit.
    • 2. Freely flowering habit.
    • 3. Long flowering period.
    • 4. Semi-double to double violet blue-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Clematis differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in plant habit and flower form.
Plants of the new Clematis can be compared to plants of the Clematis ‘Belle of Woking’, not patented. Plants of the new Clematis differ primarily from plants of ‘Belle of Woking’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Clematis are more compact than plants of ‘Belle of Woking’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Clematis are more freely branching than plants of ‘Belle of Woking’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Clematis are more freely flowering than plants of ‘Belle of Woking’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Clematis have more sepals per flower than plants of ‘Belle of Woking’.
    • 5. Plants of the new Clematis and ‘Belle of Woking’ differ in flower color.
Plants of the new Clematis can also be compared to plants of the Clematis ‘Chalcedony’, not patented. Plants of the new Clematis differ primarily from plants of ‘Chalcedony’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Clematis are more compact than plants of ‘Chalcedony’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Clematis and ‘Chalcedony’ differ in flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Clematis plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Clematis plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Diamond Ball’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used for the aforementioned photograph and following description were grown during the summer in an outdoor nursery in Pruszków, Poland and under cultural practices which closely approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 23° C. and night temperatures ranged from 13° C. to 16° C. Plants were three years old when the photograph and the description were taken.
