Abstract
A new and distinct Weigela plant named ‘VUKOZ90345’ is disclosed, characterized by abundant pink flowers and plants which re-bloom. The new variety is a Weigela, normally produced as an outdoor garden plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Weigela hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘VUKOZ90345’.
The new Weigela cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Vojtech Benetka in Pruhonice, Czech Republic. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Weigela varieties with a low growth habit. The cross resulting in this new variety was made in 1990.
The seed parent is the unpatented Weigela ‘Eva Supreme’. The pollen parent is the unpatented, proprietary Weigela ‘87-8-1’. The new variety was identified as a potentially interesting selection in 1994, at a research nursery in Pruhonice, Czech Republic.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘VUKOZ90345’ by softwood cuttings was first performed in 1994, at a research nursery in Pruhonice, Czech Republic. Subsequent propagation has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in five successive generations.
The cultivar ‘VUKOZ90345’ 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 ‘VUKOZ90345’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘VUKOZ90345’ as a new and distinct Weigela cultivar:
-
- 1. Pink flowers.
- 2. Rich flowering.
- 3. Re-blooming of flowers.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘VUKOZ90345’ are similar to plants of the seed parent in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘VUKOZ90345’ differ in the following;
-
- 1. New cultivar has pink flowers, whereas the seed parent has crimson flowers.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘VUKOZ90345’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘VUKOZ90345’ differ in the following;
-
- 1. New cultivar has pink flowers, whereas the parent has dark pink flowers.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘VUKOZ90345’ can be compared to the patented commercial variety Weigela ‘Bokrasopea’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,585). These varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however ‘VUKOZ90345’ differs in the following:
-
- 1. New cultivar has lighter pink flowers than this comparator.
- 2. New cultivar has larger flowers than this comparator.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘VUKOZ90345’ grown in a 2 gallon container.
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.
