Abstract
A new cultivar of Nandina plant named ‘Little Flick’ that is characterized by a dense compact habit, red upper leaves and green lower leaves.
Description
Botanical classification: Nandina domestica.
Variety denomination: ‘Little Flick’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nandina plant botanically known as Nandina domestica and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Little Flick’.
The new cultivar was discovered in 2008 as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation in a population of Nandina domestica ‘Gulf Stream’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,656) plants. ‘Little Flick’ was discovered as a single plant in a greenhouse in a cultivated area of Motueka, New Zealand.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Little Flick’ by tissue culture was first performed in 2009 in Auckland, New Zealand. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Nandina cultivar ‘Little Flick’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Little Flick’ as a new and distinct cultivar.
-
- 1. Nandina ‘Little Flick’ exhibits a dense compact habit.
- 2. Nandina ‘Little Flick’ exhibits red upper leaves and green lower leaves.
The closest comparison cultivar is the parent plant ‘Gulf Stream’. ‘Little Flick’ differs from ‘Gulf Stream’ in having a smaller overall size and in having red colored upper leaves and green colored lower leaves. In comparison, the leaves of ‘Gulf Stream’ are yellow-green in color.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Nandina ‘Little Flick’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of a 24 month old plant.
The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
The following is a detailed description of the new Nandina cultivar named ‘Little Flick’. Data was collected in Motueka, New Zealand from 24 month old greenhouse grown plants. The time of year was Autumn and the average temperature was 15 to 22° Centigrade during the day and 6 to 14° Centigrade at night. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘Little Flick’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
