Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘SHIMCR1’, characterized by its relatively compact and upright to outwardly spreading plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; large and flat flowers with dark pink-colored undulate petals and dark red-colored centers and venation; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Hibiscus syriacus.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SHIMCR1’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus syriacus, commercially known as Rose-of-Sharon or Althea, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘SHIMCR1’.
The new Hibiscus plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Suwon, Korea. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Hibiscus plants with large attractive flowers.
The new Hibiscus plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventor in July, 2002 of Hibiscus syriacus ‘Kwangmyung’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Hibiscus syriacus ‘Samchulli’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Hibiscus plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in July, 2008 as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Suwon, Korea.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hibiscus plant by softwood cuttings since June, 2009 in a controlled environment in Suwon, Korea has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Hibiscus 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 ‘SHIMCR1’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SHIMCR1’ as a new and distinct Hibiscus plant:
    • 1. Relatively compact and upright to outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Large and flat flowers with dark pink-colored undulate petals and dark red-colored centers and venation.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Kwangmyung’. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ primarily from plants of ‘Kwangmyung’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Petals of plants of the new Hibiscus are broader than petals of plants of ‘Kwangmyung’.
    • 2. Petals of plants of the new Hibiscus are imbricate whereas petals of plants of ‘Kwangmyung’ are not imbricate.
    • 3. Petals of plants of the new Hibiscus are more undulate than petals of plants of ‘Kwangmyung’.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Samchulli’. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ primarily from plants of ‘Samchulli’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Flowers of plants of the new Hibiscus have a larger “eye” than flowers of plants of ‘Samchulli’.
    • 2. Petals of plants of the new Hibiscus are imbricate whereas petals of plants of ‘Samchulli’ are not imbricate.
    • 3. Petals of plants of the new Hibiscus are more undulate than petals of plants of ‘Samchulli’.
    • 4. Petals of plants of the new Hibiscus are dark pink in color whereas petals of plants of ‘Samchulli’ are lavender pink in color.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the Hibiscus syriacus ‘Minrosa’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/642,987 (abandoned). In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Hibiscus differed from plants of ‘Minrosa’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus were more compact than plants of ‘Minrosa’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus had larger flowers than plants of ‘Minrosa’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Hibiscus had dark pink-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Minrosa’ had soft pink-colored flowers.
    • 4. Petals of plants of the new Hibiscus were more undulate than petals of plants of ‘Minrosa’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hibiscus 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 Hibiscus plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘SHIMCR1’ grown in a ground bed in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘SHIMCR1’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in ground beds and three-gallon containers during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery in Grand Haven, Mich. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Hibiscus production. Plants were three years old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
