Abstract
A new and distinct Buddleia cultivar named ‘SMNBDBT’ is disclosed, characterized by a compact plant habit that is dense, round and outwardly spreading. Plants have an overall height of less than two feet. Stems are thick and chunky with short internodes, leaves are coriaceous. Plants are cold-hardy and produce abundant panicles of purple flowers. The new variety is a Buddleia, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Buddleia davidii.
Variety denomination: ‘SMNBDBT’.
The new Buddleia cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Timothy D. Wood, in Grand Haven, Mich., USA. The objective of the breeding program was to produce compact plants with strong branches in a range of flower colors. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during 2012.
The seed parent is the unpatented, proprietary Buddleia davidii ‘UC 596’. The pollen parent is the unpatented Buddleia davidii ‘Adonis Blue’. The new variety was discovered in 2013 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2012 crossing, in Grand Haven, Mich., USA.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was performed by softwood stem cuttings. This was first performed in Grand Haven, Mich., USA in 2013 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in 6 successive generations.
The cultivar ‘SMNBDBT’ 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 ‘SMNBDBT’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SMNBDBT’ as a new and distinct Buddleia cultivar:
- 1. Compact, dense plants less than two feet tall. Habit is spreading and plants are somewhat flat-topped.
- 2. Thick, chunky stems with short internodes.
- 3. Heavy, coriaceous, textured leaves.
- 4. Numerous panicles of purple flowers.
- 5. Cold hardiness comparable to the most cold-hardy Buddleia davidii on the market.
- 6. Plants less than 2 feet tall.
- 7. Compact and rounded plant habit.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SMNBDBT’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Buddleia davidii ‘UC 596’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘SMNBDBT’ differ in the following;
- 1. The new cultivar has a larger plant size.
- 2. The new variety produces larger panicles.
- 3. The new variety produces purple flowers, as opposed to purple-blue flowers.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SMNBDBT’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Buddleia davidii ‘Blue Adonis’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘SMNBDBT’ differ in the following;
- 1. The new variety is shorter than the pollen parent.
- 2. The new variety has purple flowers, as opposed to the deep blue flowers of the pollen parent.
- 3. The new variety has wider leaves than the pollen parent.
- 4. The new variety has larger flowers than the pollen parent.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SMNBDBT’ are comparable to the patended commercial variety Buddleia ‘Purple Haze’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,514. The two Buddleia varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘SMNBDBT’ differs in the following:
- 1. The new cultivar has upright facing flowers, whereas the comparator has flowers facing slightly downward.
- 2. The new cultivar has tighter flower clusters, whereas the comparator has looser flower clusters.
- 3. The new cultivar has darker purple flowers than the comparator.
- 4. The new cultivar has compact and rounded growth habit, whereas the comparator has a compact and spreading growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SMNBDBT’ are comparable to the variety Buddleia ‘SMNBDPT’, co-pending U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 15/330,700. The varieties differ from each other primarily in flower color.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘SMNBDBT’ grown in the ground, at approximately 2 years of age.
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 1996 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘SMNBDBT’ plants grown in a poly greenhouse during June, in Grand Haven, Mich. USA.
