Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant named ‘Dophlowoblu’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely flowering habit; relatively large bright violet-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Phlox hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DOPHLOWOBLU’.
An European Community Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Applicant/Assignee, Dümmen Group B.V. of De Lier, The Netherlands on Aug. 26, 2022, application number 2022/1998. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.
The Inventor and Applicant/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 and/or Applicant/Assignee. Inventor and Applicant/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 cultivar of Phlox plant, botanically known as Phlox hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Dophlowoblu’.
The new Phlox plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new freely-flowering Phlox plants with large attractive flowers.
The new Phlox plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in April, 2017 in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, of a proprietary selection of Phlox hybrida identified as code number SB07-000252-016, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Phlox hybrida identified as code number SB-0064, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phlox plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in April, 2019.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phlox plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands since June, 2019 has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Phlox 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 ‘Dophlowoblu’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dophlowoblu’ as a new and distinct Phlox plant:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Relatively large bright violet-colored flowers.
- 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Phlox differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in leaf shape as plants of the new Phlox have lanceolate-shaped leaves whereas plants of the female parent selection have subulate-shaped leaves.
Plants of the new Phlox differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower placement as plants of the new Phlox have shorter peduncles and flowers are placed just above the foliar plane whereas the longer peduncles of plants of the male parent selection place the flowers above the foliar plane.
Plants of the new Phlox can also be compared to plants of Phlox subulata ‘Crimson Beauty’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Phlox and ‘Crimson Beauty’ differ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Phlox are more upright than and not as creeping as plants of ‘Crimson Beauty’.
- 2. Plants of the new Phlox have larger flowers than plants of ‘Crimson Beauty’.
- 3. Plants of the new Phlox and ‘Crimson Beauty’ differ in flower color as plants of the new Phlox have bright violet-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Crimson Beauty’ have bright rosy red-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Phlox 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 Phlox plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plant of ‘Dophlowoblu’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of the upper and lower surfaces of typical flowers and leaves and a typical flower bud of ‘Dophlowoblu’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the spring in 13-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Straelen, Germany under cultural practices typical of commercial Phlox production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 21 C and night temperatures averaged 15 C. Plants were pinched one time two weeks after planting rooted young plants and plants were 32 weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fifth Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
