Abstract
A new and distinct Lagerstroemia cultivar named ‘Lipipetz’ which is characterized by the combination of a compact, freely-branching growth habit with a generally round shape, dense foliage, an abundance of pink flowers borne on terminal panicles from summer into early fall, and the stability of these characteristics from generation to generation.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei hybrid.
Variety denomination: The inventive cultivar of Lagerstroemia disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘Lipipetz’.
Parentage: ‘Lipipetz’ is a seedling selection resulting from the open pollination of Lagerstroemia hybrid ‘Hopi’ (not patented) performed by the inventor at his commercial ornamental plant nursery in Coatesville, Pa. on Sep. 1, 2006. Having grown several varieties of Lagerstroemia that performed well in his climate, the inventor endeavored to develop new cultivars with favorable gene expression using one such cultivar, Lagerstroemia hybrid ‘Hopi’, as the seed parent. Mature ‘Hopi’ plants were grown in close proximity to a number of additional cultivars, to facilitate cross pollination. Seed was subsequently collected from these ‘Hopi’ plants, germinated, and the seedlings grown to a mature size in order to evaluate the progeny for unique characteristics which may be of commercial value. In September of 2008, one such seedling was observed to possess a more compact growth habit relative to the parent plant and other progeny plants. The plant was isolated for propagation and further evaluation and given the name, ‘Lipipetz’.
Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of ‘Lipipetz’, by way of softwood stem cuttings, was first performed in June of 2009 in Coatesville, Pa. Through three subsequent generations, the unique features of this cultivar have proven to be stable and true to type.
The cultivar ‘Lipipetz’ 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 ‘Lipipetz’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Lipipetz’ as a new and distinct Lagerstroemia hybrid cultivar:
-
- 1. Lagerstroemia ‘Lipipetz’ exhibits a compact, freely-branching growth habit with dense foliage; and
- 2. Lagerstroemia ‘Lipipetz’ exhibits a generally round shape; and
- 3. Lagerstroemia ‘Lipipetz’ exhibits an abundance of pink flowers borne on terminal panicles from summer and into early fall, weather depending; and
- 4. Lagerstroemia ‘Lipipetz’ exhibits lateral branches with excellent cold hardiness.
The following observations and measurements made in November of 2016 and, unless otherwise indicated, describe a six month old potted ‘Lipipetz’ plant grown in a poly greenhouse in Coatesville, Pa. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, with younger plants. ‘Lipipetz’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may differ from the descriptions set forth herein with variations in environmental, climatic and cultural conditions. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 2015 (sixth edition).
