Abstract
A new cultivar of Syringa patula plant named ‘Pink Flower Select’ that is characterized by its floriferous blooming habit with inflorescences covering the top two-thirds of the plant when in full bloom, its large inflorescences that are pale pink to white in color that open from pink buds, its fall foliage that is red-purple with yellow-green margins and veins in the fall in most years in Southern Wisconsin, its ability to be readily rooted from softwood stem cuttings, its ability to be readily overwintered (even as young plants) with cold hardiness to at least U.S.D.A. Zone 3b, and its resistance to root rot) and powdery mildew.
Description
Botanical classification: Syringa patula.
Variety denomination: ‘Pink Flower Select’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Syringa patula and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Pink Flower Select’. ‘Pink Flower Select’ is a new cultivar of lilac grown for use as a landscape and ornamental plant.
‘Pink Flower Select’ arose as a seedling of open pollinated plants of Syringa patula ‘Miss Kim’ (not patented) in Menomonee Falls, Wis. The Inventor selected the new cultivar as a single unique plant from amongst the seedlings of the above cross in the summer of 1999.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by softwood stem cuttings in June of 1999 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 ‘Pink Flower Select’ as a unique cultivar of Syringa.
-
- 1. ‘Pink Flower Select’ exhibits a floriferous blooming habit with inflorescences covering the top two-thirds of the plant when in full bloom.
- 2. ‘Pink Flower Select’ exhibits large inflorescences that are pale pink to white in color that open from pink buds.
- 3. ‘Pink Flower Select’ exhibits fall foliage that is red-purple with yellow-green margins and veins in the fall in most years in Southern Wisconsin.
- 4. ‘Pink Flower Select’ is readily rooted from softwood stem cuttings.
- 5. ‘Pink Flower Select’ overwinters readily even as young plants with cold hardiness to at least U.S.D.A. Zone 3b.
- 6. ‘Pink Flower Select’ exhibits good resistance to root rot and powdery mildew.
The female parent of ‘Pink Flower Select’, ‘Miss Kim’, differs from ‘Pink Flower Select’ in being less floriferous, in having smaller inflorescences that are more lavender in color, and in commencing bloom later. The new Syringa can be most closely compared to the Syringa cultivars ‘KLMone’ (not patented) and ‘Bailbelle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,294). ‘KLMone’ is similar to ‘Pink Flower Select’ in having flowers that are light pink in color and in having a plant habit that is round in shape. ‘KLMone’ differs from ‘Pink Flower Select’ in having a less floriferous bloom habit. ‘Bailbelle’ is similar to ‘Pink Flower Select’ in having pink flowers. ‘Bailbelle’ differs from ‘Pink Flower Select’ in having flowers that are darker pink in color, in having a less floriferous bloom habit, and in being more susceptible to root rot.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Syringa. The photographs were taken of a 10 year-old plant as grown outdoors in a nursery in Menomonee Falls, Wis.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of a plant of ‘Pink Flower Select’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the inflorescences of ‘Pink Flower Select’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the fall foliage of ‘Pink Flower 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 3 year-old plants as grown outdoors in two-gallon containers 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.
