Abstract
A new Hydrangea plant particularly distinguished by having white flowers tinged with red-purple, and having and obovate plant shape with a broad-spreading habit, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Hydrangea paniculata.
Variety denomination: ‘COUFLORI’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of Hydrangea plant, botanically known as Hydrangea paniculata, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘COUFLORI’. ‘COUFLORI’ originated from an open pollination in France between two un-named and unknown Hydrangea paniculata parents. Seeds from the open-pollination were taken from the female parent and sown and a single plant was chosen in March 2013.
‘COUFLORI’ was first propagated in July 2015 in France. ‘COUFLORI’ was found to reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation via softwood cuttings.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Boskoop, The Netherlands.
-
- 1. White flowers tinged with red-purple; and
- 2. Having and obovate plant shape with a broad-spreading habit.
This new Hydrangea plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which shows the plant's overall plant habit including form, and foliage. Photos were taken in August 2021 in Boskoop, The Netherlands. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘COUFLORI’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Boskoop, The Netherlands. Data was collected on two-year old plants grown outdoors in a 19 cm circular pot The Netherlands in August 2021. The range of day temperatures was 16° C. to 26° C. and the range of night temperatures was 8° C. to 20° C. Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), 6th edition (2015).
