Abstract
A new and distinct Loropetalum cultivar named ‘KURENAI’ is disclosed, characterized by deep red foliage and bright pink flowers. Dwarf, mounded form and a bright red Fall color. The new variety is a Loropetalum, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Loropetalum chinense.
Variety denomination: ‘KURENAI’.
The new Loropetalum cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Yuji Suzuki, in Kawaguchi City, Saitama, Japan. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Loropetalum varieties with better foliage color and improved flowering for ornamental commercial applications. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during Apr. 20, 2005.
The seed parent is the, unpatented, commercial variety referred to as Loropetalum ‘Kurohikari’. The pollen parent is the unpatented, variety Loropetalum ‘8-21’. The new variety was discovered in a commercial nursery by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2005 crossing, in Kawaguchi City, Saitama, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was performed by softwood cuttings. This was first performed at a commercial nursery in Kawaguchi City, Saitama, Japan, in 2011 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in 5 successive generations.
The cultivar ‘KURENAI’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘KURENAI’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘KURENAI’ as a new and distinct Loropetalum cultivar:
-
- 1. Attractive deep red foliage.
- 2. Attractive bright red fall foliage color.
- 3. Bright pink flowers.
- 4. Dwarf, mounded habit (1-3′ tall).
Plants of the new cultivar ‘KURENAI’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Loropetalum ‘Kurohikari’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘KURENAI’ differ in the following;
-
- 1. Bright pink flowers. The parent has dark red flowers.
- 2. Bright red Fall foliage. The parent's foliage has no significant fall color change.
- 3. Spreading, mounding growth habit. The parent growth habit is spreading.
- 4. Underside of foliage is darker red in the new variety.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘KURENAI’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Loropetalum ‘8-21’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘KURENAI’ differ in the following;
-
- 1. Bright pink flowers. The parent has lighter red/pink flowers.
- 2. Bright red Fall foliage. The parent's foliage has no significant fall color change.
- 3. Spreading, mounding growth habit. The parent's growth habit is spreading.
- 4. The new variety foliage color is darker.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘KURENAI’ are comparable to the patented, commercial variety Loropetalum ‘Peack’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,441. The two Loropetalum varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘KURENAI’ differs in the following:
-
- 1. Tight mounded habit. The Comparator growth habit is mounded and outward spreading.
- 2. Less spread in growth habit.
- 3. Bright pink flowers. The comparator has flowers that are more red in color.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘KURENAI’ grown in a 1 gallon pot. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 1 to 2 years old from a rooted cutting.
The photographs were 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.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘KURENAI’ plants grown in a greenhouse, in Grand Haven Mich. The growing temperature averaged from 60-65° F. during the day and from 40-50° F. during the night. Growing conditions are double poly from Fall through Winter heated to 35° F. The poly was removed in the Spring. Shade cloth through the summer. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
