Abstract
A new and distinct Weigela cultivar particularly distinguished by profuse production of medium-sized white flowers borne on the upright stems of a tall spreading bush. This plant exhibits winter hardiness along with a mild fragrance, an unusual characteristic for Weigela.
Description
My new Weigela plant originated as a hybrid seedling resulting from the crossing of the varieties, IA725543 and IA724327 (both unpatented), being grown in greenhouse and outdoors at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa. Because of the white flower color of this plant, its winter hardiness and pleasing fragrance, I propagated this plant by means of cuttings to test its character. Because of such favorable results, propagation in this manner was carried on at Iowa State University through several successive generations. This demonstrated clearly that the novel characteristics of this plant hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. Therefore, its homogeneity for commercial propagation can be assured.
My new Weigela variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows a fully developed plant with buds in several stages of development along with fully opened flowers and foliage; the color rendition being as nearly true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new Weigela plant based upon observation of plants grown at Iowa State University, color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
