Abstract
The new and distinct cultivar of perennial Sedum plant named ‘Popstar’ is characterized by tight-forming compact clumps with small-sized, blue-green glaucous foliage blushed with greyed-purple on vertical to slightly arching branching stems flower stems that resist falling over and opening up in the center of the plant throughout the growing season. Numerous stems produce a multitude of flowers of mauve-pink effect completely covering the top of the plant. The new plant is useful for the landscape in containers, as specimens, en masse.
Description
Botanical designation: Sedum hybrid.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Popstar’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant, botanically known as Sedum and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Popstar’. There are over 300 recognized species of the genus Sedum.
The new Sedum plant is a selection of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA.
The new Sedum plant was selected as a single seedling from an insect pollinated cross in an isolation block in late summer of 2012 between a selection of Sedum cauticola (not patented) as the female or pod parent and the proprietary unreleased mutation known as “SRF-SED-282-F ‘Sunset Cloud’” (not patented) as the male or pollen parent. Sedum ‘Popstar’ was assigned the breeder code number 12-49-5 to keep it separated from among thousands of other seedlings of this and other crosses when it progressed through the initial trial phase in the fall of 2014. The selected single seedling clone was originally selected for it strong, healthy, upright growth, colorful foliage and flowers.
Asexual reproduction of Sedum ‘Popstar’ by vegetative shoot tip cuttings at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich., USA since the spring of 2015, has shown that the unique features of this new Sedum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
No plants of Sedum ‘Popstar’ have been sold or disclosed by this or any other name, in this country or anywhere in the world, exception that which was either derived directly or indirectly from the inventor and disclosed within one year of the filing of this application.
Plants of Sedum ‘Popstar’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, available water, fertility and light intensity without, however, any variation in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to comprise the unique characteristics of Sedum ‘Popstar’ and distinguish it as a new and distinct autumn stonecrop plant unique from all other autumn stonecrop plants known to the inventor:
-
- 1. Tight-forming compact clumps with vertical to arching stems.
- 2. Center stems remain erect throughout the growing season produce full habit.
- 3. Small-sized, blue-green, glaucous foliage with blushing of greyed-purple.
- 4. Numerous, branched, greyed-purple stems produce flower clusters of mauve-pink completely cover the top of the plant.
In comparison with the female parent, the new plant has a larger width and height and retains its upright stems better through the entire growing season. The nearest comparison variety known to the inventor is ‘Dazzleberry’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,457. The new plant is slightly taller in flowering height size and has lighter colored flowers. Compared with ‘Crystal Pink’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,094 the new plant is shorter in flower with more flower coverage and develops a deeper pink flower. Compared with ‘Marina’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 26,191 the new plant is taller, with more stiffly upright stems, more rounded leaves. ‘Superstar’ U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 15/931,171 has dark turquoise foliage with smoky gray overlay and the flowers are rosy pink with hot pink carpels that mature to dark purple fruit. The male parent foliage is darker greyed-purple, the habit is more arching and open in the center and the flowering is not as profuse.
The photograph of the new plant demonstrates the unique traits and the overall appearance of Sedum ‘Popstar’. The colors are as accurate as reasonably possible with color reproductions of this type. Variations in ambient light spectrum, source and direction may cause the appearance of minor variation in color. The plants used in the photograph were three-year-old plants grown in an open, full-sun trial garden at a wholesale perennial nursery in Zeeland, Mich. with supplemental water and fertilizer when needed. No plant growth regulators or pinching have been used.
The following is a detailed description of three-year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in a full sun trial plot at a wholesale nursery in Zeeland, Mich. No plant growth regulators have been used. Plants of the new cultivar have not been tested under all possible conditions. The phenotype may vary with changes in environment, climate, and cultural conditions without change however in the genotype. The color reference is in accordance with the 2015 edition of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general color dictionary terms are used.
