Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Ceanothus plant named ‘Minmadore’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; freely branching habit; yellow green-colored leaves; numerous pink-colored flowers; and good garden performance especially in shaded areas.

Description

Botanical designation: Ceanothus delilianus×Ceanothus pallidus.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MINMADORE’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Ceanothus plant, botanically known as Ceanothus delilianus×Ceanothus pallidus and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Minmadore’.
The new Ceanothus plant is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of Ceanothus delilianus×Ceanothus pallidus ‘Minmarose’, not patented. The new Ceanothus plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in July, 2008 on a single plant of ‘Minmarose’ within a population of plants of ‘Minmarose’ in a controlled environment in Maine et Loire, France.
Asexual reproduction of the new Ceanothus plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in Maine et Loire, France since August, 2008 has shown that the unique features of this new Ceanothus plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Ceanothus 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 ‘Minmadore’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Minmadore’ as a new and distinct Ceanothus plant:
    • 1. Upright and compact plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Yellow green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Numerous pink-colored flowers.
    • 5. Good garden performance especially in shaded areas.
Plants of the new Ceanothus can be compared to plants of the mutation parent, ‘Minmarose’. Plants of the new Ceanothus differ from plants of ‘Minmarose’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Ceanothus are more compact than plants of ‘Minmarose’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Ceanothus are not as vigorous as plants of ‘Minmarose’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Ceanothus are not as freely branching as plants of ‘Minmarose’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Ceanothus have yellow green-colored leaves whereas plants of ‘Minmarose’ have green-colored leaves.
    • 5. Plants of the new Ceanothus have smaller inflorescences with fewer flowers than plants of ‘Minmarose’.
Plants of the new Ceanothus can be compared to plants of Ceanothus pallidus ‘Marie Simon’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Maine et Loire, France, plants of the new Ceanothus differed from plants of ‘Marie Simon’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Ceanothus had yellow green-colored leaves whereas plants of ‘Marie Simon’ had dark green-colored leaves.
    • 2. Plants of the new Ceanothus and ‘Marie Simon’ differed in stem color.
    • 3. Plants of the new Ceanothus had more open (less dense) inflorescences than plants of ‘Marie Simon’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Ceanothus 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 Ceanothus plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical vegetative plant of ‘Minmadore’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical leaves of ‘Minmadore’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Minmadore’.
The photograph on the fourth sheet comprises close-up views of typical flowering plants of ‘Minmadore’ (left) and ‘Minmarose’ (right).
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer and early autumn in ground beds and 4.5-liter containers in a shadehouse in Maine et Loire, France and under cultural practices typical of commercial Ceanothus production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 16° C. and night temperatures averaged 9° C. Plants were three years old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
