Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘DPHKOX911’, characterized by its compact, upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dense and full appearance; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; and red-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Phlox drummondii.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DPHLOX911’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant, botanically known as Phlox drummondii and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘DPHLOX911’.
The new Phlox plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel. The objective of the breeding program is to create new mounding and full Phlox plants with numerous attractive flowers and low sensitivity to Powdery Mildew.
The new Phlox plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventor in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel in October, 2011 of a proprietary selection of Phlox drummondii identified as code number PH-Z-100, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Phlox drummondii identified as code number PH-11-1206, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phlox plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel in April, 2012.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phlox plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel since April, 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Phlox plant have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental and cultural conditions. 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 ‘DPHLOX911’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘DPHLOX911’ as a new and distinct Phlox plant:
    • 1. Compact, upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit; dense and full appearance.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit; long flowering period.
    • 5. Red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Phlox can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Phlox differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Phlox are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Phlox flower earlier than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Phlox and the female parent selection differ in flower color stability as flower color of plants of the new Phlox is stable whereas flower color of plants of the female parent selection is not stable.
Plants of the new Phlox can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Phlox differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Phlox are more compact than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Phlox are more upright than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Phlox have larger leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 4. Plants of the new Phlox and the male parent selection differ in flower shape as flowers of plants of the new Phlox are mostly round in shape whereas flowers of plants of the male parent selection are more star-shaped.
Plants of the new Phlox can be compared to plants of Phlox drummondii ‘Duephocher’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,982. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel, plants of the new Phlox and ‘Duephocher’ differed in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Phlox were more compact than plants of ‘Duephocher’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Phlox were more upright than plants of ‘Duephocher’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Phlox had larger leaves than plants of ‘Duephocher’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Phlox and ‘Duephocher’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Duephocher’ had darker red-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Phlox 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 Phlox plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘DPHLOX911’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘DPHLOX911’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the autumn in 12-cm containers in a greenhouse in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel and under cultural practices typical of commercial Phlox production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 36° C. and night temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 17° C. Plants were pinched one time and were 80 days old when the photographs and description were taken. Supplemental flower information was collected from plants grown in 22-cm containers during the summer in an outdoor nursery in Loudon, N.H. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Diascia production. During the production of these plants, day temperatures averaged 27° C., night temperatures averaged 13° C. and maximum light levels were 10,000 foot-candles. These plants were pinched one time and were 17 weeks old when the supplemental flower information was taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
