Abstract
A new and distinct Heuchera plant characterized by small red brown spring leaves that mature to a tan color, winter leaves of olive green with red veins, yellow green to creamy yellow flowers in wands with red pedicels, very free flowering on short, red flower stalks, a small, multi-crowned, low mounding habit, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heuchera sp.
Variety designation: ‘Blondie’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera and given the cultivar name of ‘Blondie’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Blondie’ originated from a cross between Heuchera K266-2, a proprietary non-commercial hybrid, as the seed parent, and Heuchera K376-1, a proprietary non-commercial hybrid, as, as the pollen parent.
Compared to the seed parent, Heuchera K266-2, the new cultivar is similar, but the leaves of the new cultivar are much smaller.
Compared to the pollen parent, Heuchera K376-1, the new cultivar has smaller leaves that are red brown when young to deep green with red veins when mature rather than red purple leaves.
There are no similar Heuchera on the market known to the breeder.
This new Heuchera is uniquely distinguished by:
-
- 1. small red brown spring leaves that mature to a tan color,
- 2. winter leaves olive green with red veins,
- 3. yellow green to creamy yellow flowers in wands with red pedicels,
- 4. very free flowering on short, red flower stalks,
- 5. small, multi-crowned, low mounding habit, and
- 6. excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (tip cuttings and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by cuttings and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may change with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heuchera cultivar based on observations of two-year-old specimens growing in one gallon containers in a cold greenhouse in March in Canby, Oreg. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to and average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 edition.
