Abstract
A new cultivar of hybrid Heuchera named ‘Muscat’, characterized by its uniquely colored foliage with leaves that are green with a silvery overlay between the veins with newer leaves lighter green in color, its leaves that are relatively flat in aspect (not ruffled), its tolerance to heat and humidity, its compact and upright plant habit, its pink flowers, and its cold hardiness in Zones U.S.D.A Zone 3 to 8.
Description
Botanical classification: Heuchera hybrid.
Cultivar designation: ‘Muscat’.
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 Heuchera Plant Named ‘Pinot Bianco’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/694,458).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera of hybrid origin, botanically known as a Heuchera and is hereinafter referred to by its cultivar name ‘Muscat’.
The new cultivar arose from a cross made by the Inventor in 2008 between ‘Citronelle’ as the female parent (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,934) and ‘Pinot Gris’ as the male parent (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,592). The Inventor selected ‘Muscat’ in 2009 as a single unique plant amongst the seedlings that resulted from the above cross.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by division in Hantay, France in 2011. Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by division and tissue culture has shown that the unique features 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. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Muscat’ as a new and unique cultivar of Heuchera.
-
- 1. ‘Muscat’ exhibits uniquely colored foliage with leaves that are green with a silvery overlay between the veins with newer leaves lighter green in color.
- 2. ‘Muscat’ exhibits leaves that are relatively flat in aspect (not ruffled).
- 3. ‘Muscat’ is tolerant to heat and humidity imparted by having Heuchera×villosa in its parentage.
- 4. ‘Muscat’ exhibits a compact and upright plant habit.
- 5. ‘Muscat’ exhibits a vigorous growth habit.
- 6. ‘Muscat’ exhibits deep pink flowers.
- 7. ‘Muscat’ is hardy in U.S.D.A. Zones 3 to 8.
‘Muscat’ is a unique Heuchera with foliage coloration that is unknown to exist in other cultivars of Heuchera known to the Inventor.
‘Muscat’ can be compared most closely to ‘Citronelle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,934), ‘Pistache’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,585), ‘Pinot Gris’ and ‘Pinot Bianco’ in having some similarity in foliage color and form and in having Heuchera×villosa in its parentage. ‘Citronelle’ differs from ‘Muscat’ in having yellow-green foliage without distinct colored veins and lacking a silvery overlay. ‘Pistache’ differs from ‘Muscat’ in having lime-green foliage without distinct colored veins and lacking a silver overlay. ‘Pinot Gris’ differs from ‘Muscat’ in having foliage that emerges orange-yellow with a silver overlay and changes to a rosy grayed red with a silver overlay in summer. ‘Pinot Bianco’ differs in having lighter green foliage with a silver overlay and in having bronze-red coloration on the lower leaf surface.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Heuchera. The photographs were taken of a plant two years in age as grown outdoors in a 7.5-liter container.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a view of the plant habit and typical spring coloration of the foliage of ‘Muscat’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Muscat’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the flowers of ‘Muscat’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the digital photography techniques available, the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Heuchera.
The following is a detailed description of 2-year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in 7.5-liter containers in The Netherlands. 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.
