Abstract

‘NCSX1’ is a new cultivar of hybrid spiraea that is a triploid selection with a compact habit and multicolored, yellow-orange foliage throughout the growing season with red-purple flowers.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the novel plant variety disclosed herein is Spiraea.
Variety denomination: The inventive hybrid of Spiraea japonica H2007-101-003 (unpatented, tetraploid)×Spiraea ‘Zelda’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,976 P2, diploid) disclosed herein has been given the varietal denomination ‘NCSX1’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct hybrid spiraea cultivar hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘NCSX1’. This new spiraea was developed through a breeding program at North Carolina State University, Mills River, N.C. ‘NCSX1’ was selected from a population of seedlings grown from a controlled cross of Spiraea japonica H2007-101-003 (unpatented, tetraploid)×Spiraea ‘Zelda’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,976 P2, diploid). The first asexual propagation of ‘NCSX1’ was carried out in July 2012 by rooting stem cuttings at the North Carolina State University, Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station, Mills River, N.C. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings over a 3 year period. ‘NCSX1’ roots readily from softwood cuttings treated with a basal dip of 4,000-5,000 ppm indole butyric acid (potassium salt) in water. ‘NCSX1’ has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following are the unique combination of characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under standard horticultural practices at North Carolina State University, Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station, Mills River, N.C.
    • 1. Triploid with a 2C genome size of ˜0.81 pg.
    • 2. Attractive multicolored, yellow-orange foliage throughout the growing season.
    • 3. Red-purple flower color.
    • 4. Compact habit.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
This new spiraea is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show the plant's form, foliage and inflorescences. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. 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 hybrid spiraea.
FIG. 1 is a color photograph showing the multicolored fall foliage of ‘NCSX1’ in Grand Haven, Mich. in the fall of 2015.
FIG. 2 is a color photograph showing the summer foliage and inflorescences of ‘NCSX1’ in Grand Haven, Mich. in the summer of 2015.
FIG. 3 is a color photograph of the habit and spring foliage colors of ‘NCSX1’ in Grand Haven, Mich. in the spring of 2015.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of the botanical characteristics of the new and distinct hybrid spiraea variety plant known by the denomination ‘NCSX1’. The detailed description was taken on a three-year-old container-grown plant in Grand Haven, Mich. in 2015. All colors cited herein refer to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.), London, 2015 Edition). Where specific dimensions, sizes, colors, and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable.
