Definitions
- Botanical classification Perovskia atriplicifolia.
- Varietal denomination cv. Novaperlac.
- Perovskia atriplicifolia is an ornamental herbaceous perennial plant commonly known as Russian Sage.
- the new plant of the present invention was derived by induced mutagenesis from a plant of the species Perovskia atriplicifolia (unnamed and non-patented). More specifically, on Oct. 26, 2006 tissue cultured shoots were subjected to gamma irradiation to yield a diverse population of plants that included many mutations which differed widely from each other. The irradiated shoots were rooted during July 2007, were transferred to soil, and were acclimatized during September 2007. The resulting plants were transferred to one-gallon containers in the spring of 2008, and were studied in detail at West Grove, Pa., U.S.A., for the possible presence of a novel attractive phenotype. A single plant of the present invention was selected and was preserved in view of its unique combination of attractive phenotypic characteristics. Had this plant not been created, identified and preserved it would have been lost to civilization.
- the new cultivar well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and can be grown to advantage as a perennial garden plant to provide distinctive ornamentation. For instance, it can be grown in parks, gardens and residential settings.
- Plants of the new cultivar in view of its combination of phenotypic characteristics can be readily distinguished from other Perovskia plants of the species, including its parent. More specifically, the new cultivar is significantly shorter than the parent plant, being about half the height of the Perovskia atriplicifolia (unnamed and non-patented) parent plant when grown in West Grove, Pa., U.S.A. Further, when compared to the ‘Lisslitt’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,845) in a side-by-side comparison at West Grove, Pa., U.S.A., the new cultivar was found to exhibit sturdier stems and a more upright growth habit.
- the new cultivar of the present invention has been named ‘Novaperlac’, and will be marketed under the LITTLE LACE Trademark.
- FIG. 1 illustrates specimens of typical mature flowering plants of the new cultivar at the left. The typical dense upright compact growth habit is shown. At the right is shown typical plants of ‘Lisslitt’ cultivar. Such ‘Lisslitt’ plants are shown to display less sturdy and less upright stems.
- FIG. 2 illustrates another view of a typical flowering plant of the new cultivar.
- Plants of the ‘Novaperlac’ cultivar have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotypic expression may vary somewhat with changes in light intensity and duration, cultural practices, and other environmental conditions.
