Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Abelia plant, botanically known as Abelia ⁇ grandiflora, commonly known as Abelia, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘PIIAB-II’.
- PIIAB-II is grown primarily as an ornamental for landscape use and for use as a potted plant.
- PIIAB-II originated in 2008 from open-pollinated seed of Abelia ‘PIIAB-I’ (unpatented) as part of a breeding program in Watkinsville, Ga.
- the cultivar ‘PIIAB-II’ originated and was selected by the inventor in a cultivated environment in Watkinsville, Ga. from the progeny of this open-pollination by continued evaluation for growth habit and foliage and flower characteristics.
- Plants of the new cultivar ‘PIIAB-II’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions.
- the phenotype may vary somewhat with changes in light, temperature, soil and rainfall without, however, any variance in genotype.
- ‘PIIAB-II’ The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be unique characteristics of ‘PIIAB-II’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘PIIAB-II’ as a new and distinct cultivar: 1. Compact, mounding to spreading growth habit; 2. Bronze new growth that turns to yellow-green and finally matures to green; 3. Semi-evergreen foliage that does not photobleach or burn in full sun like some other yellow foliage cultivars; 4. Early and abundant flowering during the growing season; 5. Light pink flower buds that open to white flowers with persistent pink sepals.
- Plants of ‘PIIAB-II’ differ from plants of the parent, ‘PIIAB-I’, primarily in growth habit and sepal color. Plants of ‘PIIAB-II’ have a compact, mounding to spreading growth habit and pink sepals, whereas plants of ‘PIIAB-I’ have a larger, upright to rounded growth habit and burgundy-rose sepals.
- Plants of ‘PIIAB-II’ can be compared to plants of ‘Canyon Creek’ (unpatented) but differ in growth habit, foliage color, and flower color. Plants of ‘PIIAB-II’ have a compact, mounding to spreading growth habit, foliage that does not photobleach or burn, and white flowers, whereas plants of ‘Canyon Creek’ have a larger, rounded to upright growth habit, foliage that is susceptible to photobleaching or burning, and pink flowers.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the new growth, intermediate foliage color, flowers, and overall appearance of a plant of ‘PIIAB-II’ planted in the ground.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the mature foliage, flowers, and overall appearance of a plant of ‘PIIAB-II’ planted in the ground.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a close-up view of the flowers of ‘PIIAB-II’.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a close-up view of the new growth of ‘PIIAB-II’.
