Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Barphflare’, characterized by its upright and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely flowering habit; bright red-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Phlox paniculata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BARPHFLARE’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant, botanically known as Phlox paniculata and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Barphflare’.
The new Phlox plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new early and freely-flowering Phlox plants with attractive flower color.
The new Phlox plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2013 in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, of a proprietary selection of Phlox paniculata identified as code number PA11-000197-003, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Phlox paniculata identified as code number PA11-000228-001, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phlox plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in July, 2014.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phlox plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands since March, 2015 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 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 ‘Barphflare’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Barphflare’ as a new and distinct Phlox plant:
    • 1. Upright and mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Bright red-colored flowers.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Phlox differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have purple-colored flowers with white-colored centers.
Plants of the new Phlox differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have purple-colored flowers with white-colored centers.
Plants of the new Phlox can be compared to plants of Phlox paniculata ‘Sweet Summer’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Phlox and ‘Sweet Summer’ differ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Phlox are more freely branching than plants of ‘Sweet Summer’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Phlox have smaller flowers than plants of ‘Sweet Summer’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Phlox and ‘Sweet Summer’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Sweet Summer’ have white-colored flowers.
    • 4. Plants of the new Phlox are more low temperature tolerant than plants of ‘Sweet Summer’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates 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 photograph 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 comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plant of ‘Barphflare’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the spring and early summer in 13-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Phlox production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 21° C. and night temperatures averaged 15° C. Plants were pinched one time and were three months old when the photograph was taken and 14 months old when the description was taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
