Abstract
A distinctive cultivar of Phlox plant named `Shortwood`, characterized by its medium pink flower color with a dark hot pink center "eye"; resistance to Powdery Mildew; and long flowering period.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox, botanically known as Phlox paniculata, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Shortwood`.
The new cultivar was selected by the inventor from seedling progeny from a cross of the Phlox paniculata cultivar `Eva Cullem` (not patented) as the male or pollen parent with the Phlox paniculata cultivar `David` (not patented) as the female or seed parent. The new cultivar was selected by the inventor at his nursey in Coatesville, Penna. from these seedlings.
In side-by-side comparisons in Coatesville, Penna., under commercial practice, plants of the new Phlox are different from plants of the male parent, the cultivar `Eva Cullem` in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Phlox are more resistant to Powdery Mildew than plants of the cultivar `Eva Cullem`.
2. Plants of the new Phlox are taller than plants of the cultivar `Eva Cullem`.
3. Plants of the new Phlox have smaller flowers, but are more freely flowering and flower for a longer period of time than plants of the cultivar `Eva Cullem`.
4. Flowers of plants of the new Phlox are more fragrant than flowers of plants of the cultivar `Eva Cullem`.
In addition to flower color, plants of the new Phlox differ from plants of the female parent, the cultivar `David`, in the following characteristics:
1. Plant of the new Phlox are more freely branching than plants of the cultivar `David`.
2. Plants of the new Phlox flower for a longer period of time than plants of the cultivar `David`.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by tip cuttings taken at Coatesville, Penna., has shown that the unique features of this new Phlox plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Shortwood`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new Phlox plant as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Medium pink flower color with a dark hot pink center "eye".
2. Resistance to Powdery Mildew.
3. Long flowering period, summer through fall.
The new Phlox plant has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light level, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The first photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of `Shortwood`.
The second photograph comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of `Shortwood`.
Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons dewcribe plants grown in Coatesville, Penna., in 1-gallon containers.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
