Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hosta plant named ‘MonLisa’, characterized by its medium-sized plant with uniformly mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; medium bluish green-colored leaves with wide creamy white-colored borders; pale lavender-colored flowers positioned on strong peduncles; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Hosta tardiana.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MONLISA’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hosta plant, botanically known as Hosta tardiana and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘MonLisa’.
The new Hosta plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Hosta tardiana ‘Halcyon’, not patented. The new Hosta plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a controlled nursery environment in Dayton, Oreg. in 2010.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hosta plant by tissue culture in a controlled environment in Dayton, Oreg. since 2010 has shown that the unique features of this new Hosta plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Hosta have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘MonLisa’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MonLisa’ as a new and distinct Hosta plant:
-
- 1. Medium-sized plant with uniformly mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Medium bluish green-colored leaves with wide creamy white-colored borders.
- 4. Pale lavender-colored flowers positioned on strong peduncles.
- 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Hosta differ primarily from plants of the parent, ‘Halcyon’, primarily in leaf color as plants of ‘Halcyon’ do not have variegated leaves. In addition, plants of the new Hosta and ‘Halcyon’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Halcyon’ have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Hosta can be compared to plants of ‘Frosted Jade’, not patented. Plants of the new Hosta and ‘Frosted Jade’ differ primarily in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hosta are more compact than plants of ‘Frosted Jade’.
- 2. Plants of the new Hosta and ‘Frosted Jade’ differ in leaf color as plants of ‘Frosted Jade’ have sage green-colored leaves with narrow white-colored borders.
- 3. Plants of the new Hosta and ‘Frosted Jade’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Frosted Jade’ have white-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hosta 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 Hosta plant.
The photograph at the right side of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘MonLisa’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the left side of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘MonLisa’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer in two-gallon containers in an outdoor nursery in Dayton, Oreg. and under cultural practices typical of commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 17° C. and night temperatures averaged 3° C. Plants were three years old when the photographs and 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.
