Abstract
A new cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Versluck’ that is characterized by its dwarf plant habit, its re-blooming habit, its flowers that are a blend of white and violet-purple on color with an eye that is dark pink in color, its strong basal branching, and its partial resistance to powdery mildew.
Description
Botanical classification: Phlox paniculata.
Cultivar designation: ‘Versluck’.
This application is related to U.S. Plant Patents for plants derived from the same breeding program that is entitled Phlox Plant Named ‘Verscan’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,558) and Phlox Plant Named ‘Versde’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,557).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox paniculata and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Versluck’. ‘Versluck’ represents a new herbaceous perennial grown for landscape use.
‘Versluck’ was discovered by the Inventor as a chance seedling in a trial field in Haarlem, The Netherlands in 2014. The parentage is unknown.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by stem cuttings by the Inventor in 2015 in Haarlem, The Netherlands. Asexual propagation by stem cuttings, root cuttings, and tissue culture using meristematic tissue has determined that the characteristics of the new cultivar 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 ‘Versluck’ as a unique cultivar of Phlox.
-
- 1. ‘Versluck’ exhibits a very dwarf plant habit.
- 2. ‘Versluck’ exhibits a re-blooming habit.
- 3. ‘Versluck’ exhibits flowers that are a blend of white and violet-purple on color with an eye that is dark pink in color.
- 4. ‘Versluck’ exhibits strong basal branching.
- 5. ‘Versluck’ exhibits some resistance to powdery mildew.
‘Versluck’ can be compared to Phlox paniculata cultivars ‘Verscan’ and ‘Versde’. Both are similar to ‘Versluck’ in having very compact plant habits. ‘Verscan’ differs from ‘Versluck’ in having bi-color flowers that are red-purple and white in color. ‘Versde’ differs from ‘Versluck’ in having flowers that are pink in color.
The Applicant asserts that no publications or advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale, or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor. The Applicant claims a prior art exemption under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date. Disclosures include but may not be limited to website listings by Growing Colors, Soegel Home and Garden, Diane's Greenhouse, and Vite Greenhouses.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Phlox. The photographs were taken of a 2-year-old plant of ‘Versluck’ as grown in a 23-cm container Haarlem, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 is a view of a plant of ‘Versluck’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 is a close-up view of the flowers of ‘Versluck’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Versluck’.
The colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describe the colors of the new Phlox.
The following is a detailed description of 2-year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown in 23-cm containers in Haarlem, The Netherlands. 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 Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
