Abstract
A new cultivar of Camellia sasanqua named ‘Green 99-031’, characterized by its dense, upright plant habit, its large deep pink double flowers (formal form) that are essentially sterile, its vigorous growth habit, its dark green foliage, and its good resistance to Phytophora sp. and Glomerella.
Description
Botanical classification: Camellia sasanqua.
Variety denomination: ‘Green 99-031’.
This application is co-pending with a U.S. Plant Patent Application filed for a plant derived from the same breeding program that is entitled Camellia Plant Named ‘Green 99-016’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/815,068).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Camellia sasanqua. The new cultivar will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Green 99-031’. ‘Green 99-031’ is grown for use as a landscape shrub.
The new Camellia arose from on ongoing breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Fairhope, Ala. that began in 1992. The objective of the breeding program is to produce new cultivars of Camellia with compact plant habits, vigorous growth habits, improved disease resistance and extended bloom periods. ‘Green 99-031’ originated from seed derived from open pollination of the cultivar ‘Mine-No-Yuki’ (not patented) in 1998. The male parent is therefore unknown. The new Camellia was selected as a single unique plant amongst the resulting seedlings in October of 2005.
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by stem cutting by the Inventor in summer of 2006 in Fairhope, Ala. Asexual propagation by stem cuttings has determined that the characteristics of this cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new Camellia as observed in Fairhope, Ala. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Green 99-031’ as a unique cultivar of Camellia.
-
- 1. ‘Green 99-031’ exhibits a dense, upright plant habit.
- 2. ‘Green 99-031’ exhibits large deep pink double flowers (formal form) that are essentially sterile.
- 3. ‘Green 99-031’ exhibits a vigorous growth habit.
- 4. ‘Green 99-031’ exhibits dark green foliage.
- 5. ‘Green 99-031’ has shown good resistance to Phytophora sp. and Glomerella.
The new cultivar of Camellia can be readily distinguished from its parent plant and other cultivars. ‘Mine-No-Yuki’, the female parent plant, differs from ‘Green 99-031’ in having a more open, spreading and informal plant habit and in having white flowers and lighter green foliage. ‘Green 99-031’ can also be compared to the cultivars ‘Kanjiro’ (not patented), ‘Cotton Candy’ (not patented) and ‘Green 99-016’. ‘Kanjiro’ is similar to ‘Green 99-031’ in having a dense plant habit, good disease resistance, and in having a long blooming period. ‘Kanjiro’ differs from ‘Green 99-031’ in having flowers that are smaller, deeper pink in color and semi-double, and in having a slightly less vigorous growth habit. ‘Cotton Candy’ is similar to ‘Green 99-031’ in having dark green foliage and flowers that are similar in color (slightly darker). ‘Cotton Candy’ differs from ‘Green 99-031’ in having a less dense plant habit, less vigor, much less disease resitance and in having smaller flowers that are lighter pink in color and peony-formed. ‘Green 99-016’ is similar to ‘Green 99-031’ in having good disease restance, a dense plant habit, good vigor and dark green foliage. ‘Green 99-016’ differs from ‘Green 99-031’ in having slightly smaller flowers that are white in color, more double and peony-formed.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Camellia, ‘Green 99-031’, as grown in Fairhope, Ala. The photographs were taken of four year-old plants of ‘Green 99-031’ as grown in a trial garden in in Fairhope, Ala.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with digital photography techniques available, the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Camellia.
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar as observed on 42 month-old plants of ‘Green 99-031’ as grown outdoors under 30% shade cloth in 3-gallon containers in Fairhope, Ala. 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.
