Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Clematis plant named `Alblo`, characterized by its upright and dense plant form; vigorous growth habit; dark green leaves; long flowering period; and numerous, showy lavender blue flowers.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Clematis, botanically known as Clematis heracleifolia, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Alblo`. The new variety is being marketed under the name Alan Bloom.
The new Clematis is a naturally-occurring mutation of the Clematis heracleifolia cultivar `Wyevale` (not patented). The new Clematis was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within a population of plants of the parent cultivar, the Clematis heracleifolia cultivar `Wyevale`, in a controlled environment in Bressingham, England, in 1990. The selection of this plant was based on its denser and more vigorous growth habit, and unique flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new Clematis by divisions, basal cuttings, or by root cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Bressingham, England, has shown that the unique features of this new Clematis are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Clematis have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, light intensity, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Alblo`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Alblo` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and dense plant form.
2. Vigorous growth habit.
3. Dark green leaves.
4. Long flowering period.
5. Numerous, showy lavender blue flowers.
Plants of the new Clematis can be compared to plants of the parent cultivar `Wyevale`. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bressingham, England, plants of the new Clematis differ from plants of the cultivar `Wyevale` in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Clematis have larger and darker green leaves than plants of the cultivar `Wyevale`.
2. Plants of the new Clematis are more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar `Wyevale`.
3. Plants of the new Clematis flower for a longer period of time than plants of the cultivar `Wyevale`.
4. Flowers of plants of the new Clematis do not have a discernable fragrance whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar `Wyevale` have a discernable fragrance.
5. Plants of the new Clematis have larger flowers and longer flower stems than plants of the cultivar `Wyevale`.
6. Plants of the new Clematis have darker lavender blue flowers than plants of the cultivar `Wyevale`.
A detailed comparison of plants of the cultivars `Alblo` and `Wyevale` appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Clematis, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in a colored reproduction of this type. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of typical plants of `Alblo` in full flower. Flower and foliage colors in the photograph may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The aforementioned and following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Bressingham, England, in 7.5-liter containers under outdoor conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions. During the one year growing season, day and night temperatures ranged form 6 to 27° C. and -6 to 10° C., respectively.
