Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Eupatorium plant named ‘Allmelody’, characterized by its broadly upright and relatively compact plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; green to white-colored inflorescences; strong peduncles; and good container and garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Eupatorium rugosum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ALLMELODY’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Eupatorium plant, botanically known as Eupatorium rugosum (also known as Ageratina altissima), and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Allmelody’.
The new Eupatorium plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Cuijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Eupatorium plants that are suitable as container and garden plants.
The new Eupatorium plant originated from an open-pollination in September, 2007 in Cuijk, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Eupatorium rugosum identified as code number 7-06-1, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with an unknown selection of Eupatorium rugosum as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Eupatorium 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 outdoor nursery environment in Cuijk, The Netherlands in September, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Eupatorium plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Cuijk, The Netherlands since June, 2009 has shown that the unique features of this new Eupatorium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Eupatorium have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Allmelody’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Allmelody’ as a new and distinct Eupatorium plant:
-
- 1. Broadly upright and relatively compact plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Green to white-colored inflorescences.
- 6. Strong peduncles.
- 7. Good container and garden performance.
Plants of the new Eupatorium differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in plant habit as plants of the female parent selection are more compact and have shorter lateral branches than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Eupatorium can be compared to plants of Eupatorium rugosum ‘Allmoments’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Eupatorium differ primarily from plants of ‘Allmoments’ in plant habit as plants of the new Eupatorium are more compact and have shorter lateral branches than plants of ‘Allmoments’.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Eupatorium 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 Eupatorium plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Allmelody’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical leaves of ‘Allmelody’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Allmelody’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown in September in an outdoor nursery in Cuijk, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Eupatorium production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 13° C. to 26° C. and night temperatures ranged from 6° C. to 16° C. Plants were pinched one time and were four months old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
