Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Diervilla plant named ‘SMNDRSF’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; freely branching habit; dense and bushy appearance; leaves are dark burgundy in color in the spring and become dark red in color in the autumn; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Diervilla rivularis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SMNDRSF’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Diervilla plant, botanically known as Diervilla rivularis, commonly referred to as bush honeysuckle and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘SMNDRSF’.
The new Diervilla is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new freely branching Diervilla plants with dark leaf color.
The new Diervilla plant originated from a self-pollination in June, 2008 of Diervilla rivularis ‘Troja Black’, not patented. The new Diervilla plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in May, 2011 as a single plant within the progeny of the stated self-pollination in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich.
Asexual reproduction of the new Diervilla plant by softwood cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since June, 2011 has shown that the unique features of this new Diervilla plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Diervilla 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 ‘SMNDRSF’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SMNDRSF’ as a new and distinct Diervilla plant:
    • 1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
    • 3. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy appearance.
    • 4. Leaves are dark burgundy in color in the spring and become dark red in color in the autumn.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Diervilla can be compared to plants of the parent, ‘Troja Black’. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Diervilla differ primarily from plants of ‘Troja Black’ in leaf color as leaves of ‘Troja Black’ are green tinged with brown in color in the spring becoming red (lighter in color than leaves of plants of the new Diervilla) in the autumn.
Plants of the new Diervilla can be compared to plants of Diervilla rivularis ‘Summer Stars’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Diervilla differ primarily from plants of ‘Summer Stars’ in leaf color as leaves of ‘Summer Stars’ are green slightly tinged with red in color in the spring becoming orange red in the autumn.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Diervilla 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 Diervilla plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘SMNDRSF’ grown during the autumn.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical plant of ‘SMNDRSF’ grown during the spring.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in the early summer in three-gallon containers in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse in Grand Haven, Mich. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Diervilla production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 27° C. and night temperatures ranged from 5° C. to 10° C. Plants were two years old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
