Abstract
A new cultivar of Syringa patula plant named ‘JN Upright Select’ that is characterized by its upright plant habit, its large, fragrant inflorescences that are light violet in color, its good rooting habit as it readily roots from softwood stem cuttings, its good cold hardiness with hardiness at least to U.S.D.A. 3b even as young plants, its fall foliage that is reddish purple and yellow in center in most seasons in southern Wisconsin, and its good production characteristics, and its moderate resistance to root rot and good resistance to powdery mildew.
Description
Botanical classification: Syringa patula.
Variety denomination: ‘JN Upright Select’.
This application is co-pending with a U.S. Plant Patent Application filed for a plant derived from the same breeding program that is entitled Syringa Plant Named ‘Pink Flower Select’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 15/530,155).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Syringa patula and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘JN Upright Select’. ‘JN Upright Select’ is a new cultivar of lilac grown for use as an ornamental landscape with particular use as a hedging plant.
The new cultivar of Syringa arose from a breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Menomonee Falls, Wis. ‘JN Upright Select’ originated as a seedling that arose from seed planted from the open pollination of Syringa patula ‘Miss Kim’ (not patented) in the autumn of 1990. ‘JN Upright Select’ was selected as a single unique plant in June of 2005 from amongst the resulting seedlings.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by softwood stem cuttings in the summer of 2005 in Menomonee Falls, Wis. Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by softwood stem cuttings has determined that the characteristics are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘JN Upright Select’ as a unique cultivar of Syringa.
-
- 1. ‘JN Upright Select’ exhibits a an upright plant habit.
- 2. ‘JN Upright Select’ exhibits large, fragrant inflorescences that are light violet in color.
- 3. ‘JN Upright Select’ exhibits a good rooting habit as it readily roots from softwood stem cuttings.
- 4. ‘JN Upright Select’ exhibits good cold hardiness with hardiness at least to U.S.D.A. 3b, even as young plants.
- 5. ‘JN Upright Select’ exhibits fall foliage that is reddish purple and yellow in center in most seasons in souther Wisconsin.
- 6. ‘JN Upright Select’ exhibits some resistance to root rot and good resistance to powdery mildew.
The female parent of ‘JN Upright Select’, ‘Miss Kim’, differs from ‘JN Upright Select’ in having smaller inflorescences and in being shorter in height with a less upright plant habit. The new Sryinga can also be compared to the Syringa cultivars ‘KLMone’ (not patented) and ‘Pink Flower Select’. ‘KLMone’ differs from ‘JN Upright Select’ in having a less upright plant habit, and in having flowers that are light pink in color. ‘Pink Flower Select’ is similar to ‘JN Upright Select’ in having a floriferous bloom habit, in having large inflorescences, and in having resistance to root rot and powdery mildew. ‘Pink Flower Select’ differs from ‘JN Upright Select’ in having flowers that are light pink in color and in having a less upright plant habit.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Syringa. The photographs in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 were taken of a 9 year-old plant and the photographs in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 was taken of a 7 year-old plant as grown outdoors in a nursery in Menomonee, Wis.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of a plant of ‘JN Upright Select’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a view of the upright branching of ‘JN Upright Select’.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a view of the inflorescences of ‘JN Upright Select’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the disease-free fall foliage of ‘JN Upright Select’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized and the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Syringa.
The following is a description of 2 year-old plants as grown outdoors in a two gallon container and 7 to 9 year-old plants as grown outdoors in a trial plot in Menomonee Falls, Wis. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2015 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
