Abstract
A new cultivar of Nandina domestica named ‘Lemon-Lime’, characterized by its short leaf internodes resulting in a very compact plant habit and its chartreuse new foliage and mature foliage on the outer regions of the plant that are exposed to bright sunlight with contrasting green foliage on the interior region of the plant that is shaded.
Description
Botanical classification: Nandina domestica.
Variety denomination: ‘Lemon-Lime’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nandina domestica and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Lemon-Lime’. ‘Lemon-Lime’ is a new cultivar of Nandina shrub grown for use as a landscape plant.
The new cultivar was discovered as a single unique plant by the Inventor in May of 2004 in Locustville, Va. The Inventor collected and sowed seeds from open-pollinated plants of Nandina domestica ‘Aurea’ (not patented) in December of 2002. The new cultivar was selected as a single unique plant from the resulting seedlings in 2004.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the inventor using terminal stem cuttings in November of 2006 in Locustville, Va. Asexual propagation by softwood stem cutting and in vitro propagation has been determined that the characteristics of ‘Lemon-Lime’ are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in trial beds and in containers in Locustville, Va. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Lemon-Lime’ as a unique cultivar of Nandina.
-
- 1. ‘Lemon-Lime’ exhibits short leaf internodes resulting in a very compact plant habit.
- 2. ‘Lemon-Lime’ exhibits new leaves that are chartreuse in color and remain chartreuse in the outer regions of the plant that are exposed to bright sunlight above contrasting green foliage on the interior region of the plant that is shaded.
- 3. ‘Lemon-Lime’ typically does not bloom and only a few rare flowers have been observed.
‘Aurea’, the parent plant of ‘Lemon-Lime’ is similar to ‘Lemon-Lime’ in foliage coloration, however ‘Aurea’ differs from ‘Lemon-Lime’ in having a less compact plant habit and in producing flowers. ‘Lemon-Lime’ can be most closely compared to the cultivars ‘Gulfstream’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,656) and ‘Compacta’ (not patented). Both ‘Gulfstream’ and ‘Compacta’ are similar to ‘Lemon-Lime’ in having a compact plant habit. Both ‘Gulfstream’ and ‘Compacta’ differ from ‘Lemon-Lime’ in having foliage with new foliage that is red tinged and mature foliage that is green. ‘Compacta’ also differs from ‘Lemon-Lime’ in producing blooms and fruit.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of three year-old plants of the new Nandina as grown outdoors in 3-gallon containers in Locustville, Va.
The photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates the overall appearance of ‘Lemon-Lime’.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the foliage and plant habit of ‘Lemon-Lime’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the digital photography techniques utilized and the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Nandina.
The following is a detailed description of 1 year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in 2-liter containers in Locustville, Va. with additional information provided as observed on plants 6 years in age as grown in a trial bed in Locustville, Va. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2007 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
