Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Lilgustrum plant named ‘NCLO1’ with a compact habit and uniquely variegated, semi-evergreen foliage. ‘NCL01’ is a new cultivar of privet, suitable for landscape purposes.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Ligustrum ovalifolium.
Variety denomination: ‘NCLO1’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct privet cultivar hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘NCLO1’. This new privet was developed through a breeding program at Mills River, N.C. ‘NCLO1’ was selected from a population of seedlings derived from an open-pollinated Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Vicaryi’ (NCSU 2003-098, unpatented). The first asexual propagation of ‘NCLO1’ was carried out in July 2012 by rooting stem cuttings at Mills River, N.C. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings over a 9-year period. ‘NCLO1’ roots readily from softwood cuttings treated with a basal dip of 2,500-5,000 ppm indole butyric acid (potassium salt) in water. Stem cuttings initiate roots in approximately 4 to 6 weeks and a well-rooted plant can be produced within 12 to 14 weeks. ‘NCLO1’ has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
The following are the unique characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under standard horticultural practices at Mills River, N.C.
-
- 1. Uniquely variegated cream to yellow-edged foliage.
- 2. Compact plant habit.
- 3. Semi-evergreen.
‘NCLO1’ is distinguished from Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Vicaryi’ in that Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Vicaryi’ has yellow foliage whereas ‘NCLO1’ has variegated cream to yellow-edged foliage as described below.
‘NCLO1’ can be compared to the unpatented commercial variety ‘Jack Frost’, which also has variegated foliage. ‘NCLO1’ is distinguished from Ligustrum japonicum ‘Jack Frost’ in that ‘NCLO1’ is semi-evergreen, whereas ‘Jack Frost’ is fully evergreen. Plants of the new variety are smaller and more compact than plants of ‘Jack Frost’ and hold the variegated foliage pattern during Winter months. ‘Jack Frost’ loses foliar variegation during the Winter months.
This new privet is illustrated by the accompanying photographs, which show the plant's form and foliage. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. 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 privet.
The following is a detailed description of the botanical characteristics of the new and distinct privet variety plant known by the denomination ‘NCLO1’. The detailed description was taken on a three-year-old container-grown plant in Mills River, N.C. in 2020. All colors cited herein refer to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.), London, Sixth Edition). Where specific dimensions, sizes, colors, and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable.
