Description
Botanical designation: Buddleia davidii.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SMNBDB’.
The Inventor/Applicant and Assignee assert that no publications nor 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/Applicant and/or the Assignee. Inventor/Applicant and Assignee claim 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.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Buddleia plant, botanically known as Buddleia davidii and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘SMNBDB’.
The new Buddleia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Buddleia plants with strong branches and attractive plant form and flower coloration.
The new Buddleia plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventor in June, 2015 in Grand Haven, Mich. of Buddleja hybrida ‘Miss Molly’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,425, as the female, or seed, parent with Buddleia davidii ‘SMNBDPT’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,836, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Buddleia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. during the summer of 2017.
Asexual reproduction of the new Buddleia plant by softwood stem cuttings in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since the summer of 2017 has shown that the unique features of this new Buddleia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Buddleia have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature 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 ‘SMNBDB’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SMNBDB’ as a new and distinct Buddleia plant:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy appearance.
- 4. Leathery and durable leaves.
- 5. Freely flowering habit.
- 6. Large and dense conical inflorescences with numerous strong reddish purple-colored flowers.
- 7. Good garden performance and winter hardiness.
Plants of the new Buddleia differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘Miss Molly’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Buddleia are more compact than plants of ‘Miss Molly’.
- 2. Plants of the new Buddleia have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Miss Molly’.
- 3. Plants of the new Buddleia and ‘Miss Molly’ differ in flower color as plants of the Buddleia have strong reddish purple-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Miss Molly’ have purplish red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Buddleia differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘SMNBDPT’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Buddleia have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘SMNBDPT’.
- 2. Plants of the new Buddleia and ‘SMNBDPT’ differ in flower color as plants of the Buddleia have strong reddish purple-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘SMNBDPT’ have light purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Buddleia can also be compared to plants of Buddleia davidii ‘SMNBDO’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,796. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Buddleia differ primarily from plants of ‘SMNBDO’ in inflorescence size as plants of the new Buddleia have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘SMNBDO’. In addition, flower of plants of the new Buddleia are more pink in color than and not as purple in color as flowers of plants of ‘SMNBDO’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Buddleia plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. 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 Buddleia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘SMNBDB’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence and leaves of a plant of ‘SMNBDB’.
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the mid to late summer in three-gallon containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouses in Grand Haven, Mich. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Buddleia production. Plants were two years old when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 27° C. and night temperatures ranged from 5° C. to 10° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
