Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Helleborus plant named ‘LEM 100’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounding plant habit; freely flowering habit; single red purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Helleborus niger×(Helleborus×hybridus).
Cultivar denomination: ‘LEM 100’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Helleborus plant, botanically known as Helleborus niger×(Helleborus×hybridus) and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘LEM 100’.
The new Helleborus plant is a product of a planned breeding program in Beaumont le Hareng, France. The objective of the breeding program was to create new uniform Helleborus plants with unique leaf and flower coloration and pest resistance.
The new Helleborus plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventor in Beaumont le Hareng, France in February, 1993 of an unnamed proprietary seedling selection of Helleborus niger, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed proprietary seedling selection of Helleborus×hybridus, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Helleborus plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Beaumont le Hareng, France in February, 1995.
Asexual reproduction of the new Helleborus plant by divisions in a controlled greenhouse environment in Beaumont le Hareng, France since February, 1996 has shown that the unique features of this new Helleborus plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Helleborus have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘LEM 100’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘LEM 100’ as a new and distinct Helleborus plant:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Freely flowering habit.
- 3. Single red purple-colored flowers.
- 4. Good garden performance.
Compared to plants of the parent selections, plants of the new Helleborus are more uniformly mounded and are more freely flowering.
Plants of the new Helleborus can be compared to plants of Helleborus niger×Helleborus lividus ‘COSEH 710’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,063. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Beaumont le Hareng, France, plants of the new Helleborus differed from plants of ‘COSEH 710’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Helleborus were more compact than and not as vigorous as plants of ‘COSEH 710’.
- 2. Plants of the new Helleborus started flowering in January whereas plants of ‘COSEH 710’ started flowering in December.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Helleborus plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Helleborus plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘LEM 100’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘LEM 100’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the winter in two-liter containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Glandorf, Germany and under cultural practices typical of commercial Helleborus production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 3° C. to 18° C. Plants were 14 months old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
