Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Abelia plant named ‘Minduo1’, characterized by its compact plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; freely and continuous flowering habit; relatively large inflorescences; pale yellow and purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Abelia×grandiflora.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MINDUO1’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Abelia plant, botanically known as Abelia×grandiflora and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Minduo1’.
The new Abelia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in La Ménitré, Maine et Loire, France. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact and freely flowering Abelia plants with attractive flower coloration.
The new Abelia plant originated from an open-pollination in July, 2005 of Abelia×grandiflora ‘Minfest’, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with an unknown selection of Abelia×grandiflora, not patented. The new Abelia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in July, 2007 as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment in La Ménitré, Maine et Loire, France.
Asexual reproduction of the new Abelia plant by semi-hardwood cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in La Ménitré, Maine et Loire, France since October, 2004 has shown that the unique features of this new Abelia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Abelia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Minduo1’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Minduo1’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Abelia plant:
    • 1. Compact plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit.
    • 3. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
    • 4. Relatively large inflorescences.
    • 5. Pale yellow and purple-colored flowers.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Abelia can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Minfest’. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Abelia differ primarily from plants of ‘Minfest’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Abelia are more vigorous than plants of ‘Minfest’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Abelia are more freely branching than plants of ‘Minfest’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Abelia are more freely flowering than plants of ‘Minfest’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Abelia and ‘Minfest’ differ in leaf color as plants of ‘Minfest’ have variegated leaves.
    • 5. Plants of the new Abelia and ‘Minfest’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Minfest’ have lilac pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Abelia can be compared to plants of Abelia×grandiflora ‘Edward Goucher’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons plants of the new Abelia differ from plants of ‘Edward Goucher’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Abelia are more compact than plants of ‘Edward Goucher’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Abelia are more freely branching than plants of ‘Edward Goucher’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Abelia are more densely foliated and bushier than plants of ‘Edward Goucher’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Abelia have smaller and lighter green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Edward Goucher’.
    • 5. Plants of the new Abelia are more freely flowering than plants of ‘Edward Goucher’.
    • 6. Plants of the new Abelia and ‘Edward Goucher’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Edward Goucher’ have lilac pink-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Abelia 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 Abelia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Minduo1’ grown in an container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Minduo1’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 15-liter containers during the spring and summer in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in La Ménitré, Maine et Loire, France and under cultural practices which closely approximate commercial Abelia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 19° C. and night temperatures averaged 13° C. Plants were five years old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
