Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lilac plant named ‘SMNSYPRZ1’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; large inflorescences with moderately fragrant lavender purple-colored flowers; long flowering period and remontant flowering habit; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Syringa hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SMNSYPRZ1’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lilac plant, botanically known as Syringa hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘SMNSYPRZ1’.
The new Lilac plant is plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Lilac plants with repeat flowering habit and unique flower colors.
The new Lilac plant originated from an open-pollination in May, 2004 of Syringa hybrida ‘Josee’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Syringa hybrida, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lilac plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. in May, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Lilac plant by softwood to semi-hardwood cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since June, 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Lilac plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Lilac have not been observed under all possible combinations of 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 ‘SMNSYPRZ1’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SMNSYPRZ1’ as a new and distinct Lilac plant:
    • 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Large inflorescences with moderately fragrant lavender purple-colored flowers.
    • 6. Long flowering period and remontant flowering habit.
    • 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Lilac can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Josee’. Plants of the new Lilac differ primarily from plants of ‘Josee’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lilac are larger than plants of ‘Josee’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lilac have a stronger reblooming habit than plants of ‘Josee’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Lilac and ‘Josee’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Josee’ have lavender pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lilac can be compared to plants of the Syringa hybrida ‘Palibin’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Lilac differed primarily from plants of ‘Palibin’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lilac were larger than plants of ‘Palabin’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lilac had a stronger reblooming habit than plants of ‘Palabin’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Lilac and ‘Palibin’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Palabin’ had light pink-colored flowers.
    • 4. Flower color of plants of the new Lilac did not fade whereas flower color of plants of ‘Palabin’ faded to white.
Plants of the new Lilac can be also compared to plants of the Syringa hybrida ‘Penda’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,575. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Lilac differed primarily from plants of ‘Penda’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lilac were larger than plants of ‘Penda’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lilac were more resistant to Pseudomonas syringae than plants of ‘Penda’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Lilac 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 Lilac plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a flowering typical plant of ‘SMNSYPRZ1’ grown in an outdoor nursery in early summer.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering typical plant of ‘SMNSYPRZ1’.
Plants used for the photographs were four years old.
