Description
Botanical designation: Diervilla x splendens.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SMNDSS’.
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 exception 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 cultivar of Diervilla plant, botanically known as Diervilla x splendens, commonly referred to as Bush Honeysuckle and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘SMNDSS’.
The new Diervilla is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new freely branching Diervilla plants with attractive leaf coloration.
The new Diervilla plant originated from an open-pollination during the summer of 2018 in Grand Haven, Mich. of Diervilla x splendens ‘El Madrigal’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,060, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Diervilla x splendens as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Diervilla plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 2019 as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich.
Asexual reproduction of the new Diervilla plant by softwood stem cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since 2019 has shown that the unique features of this new Diervilla plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Diervilla 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 ‘SMNDSS’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SMNDSS’ as a new and distinct Diervilla plant:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
- 3. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy appearance.
- 4. Leaves are bright green in color tinged with greyed orange in the spring and becoming bright yellowish green tinged with reddish orange during the summer and autumn.
- 5. Numerous bright greenish yellow-colored flowers.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Diervilla can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘El Madrigal’. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Diervilla differ primarily from plants of ‘El Madrigal’ in leaf color as leaves of the new Diervilla are bright green in color tinged with greyed orange in the spring and becoming bright yellowish green tinged with reddish orange during the summer and autumn whereas leaves of plants of ‘El Madrigal’ are burgundy to greenish brown in color.
Plants of the new Diervilla can also be compared to plants of Diervilla x splendens ‘G2X88544’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,548. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Diervilla differ primarily from plants of ‘G2X88544’ in leaf color as leaves of the new Diervilla are bright green in color tinged with greyed orange in the spring and becoming bright yellowish green tinged with reddish orange during the summer and autumn whereas leaves of plants of ‘G2X88544’ are orange in color and becoming golden orange in color in the autumn.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Diervilla 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 Diervilla plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘SMNDSS’ grown during the spring.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘SMNDSS’ grown during the summer.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in the spring and summer in three-gallon containers in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse in Grand Haven, Mich. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Diervilla production. 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. Plants were two years old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
