ABSTRACT:
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Campsis×tagliabuana
(
C. grandiflora×C. radicans
).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Campsis plant which is a cross of an unnamed
Campsis grandiflora
as seed parent and an unnamed
Campsis radicans
as pollen parent. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Kudian’.
The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Kudian’ was in Uithoorn, The Netherlands, by grafting onto
Campsis radicans.
Asexual reproduction by graftings through successive generations in Uithoorn, The Netherlands, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Kudian’ are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations.
Seeds from a cross of
Campsis grandiflora×Campsis radicans
were harvested in 1984 and were planted in the soil in autumn 1984.
In January 1987 the seedlings (in total 10 plants) were grafted on
Campsis radicans
as the rootstock. Grafting is desired to get fast flowering. In summer 1987 all the plants flowered. One of them (identified as ‘KU 52’, now known as ‘Kudian’) was different than the other seedlings in the following characteristics:
1. Very early flowers
2. Many flowers on one plant
3. Dark green leaves
4. Different orange color of the flowers
From 1988 until 1994 ‘Kudian’ was propagated through grafting. The variety was found to be 100% stable. During this period it also appeared that all plants flowered more profusely as compared with the existing variety
Campsis×taglibuana
‘Mdm Galen’. If, for instance, 100 plants of
Campsis×taglibuana
‘Mdm Galen’ are planted, only about 70% will flower. If 100 plants of ‘Kudian’ are planted, they all will flower.
Further growing of plants of ‘Kudian’ demonstrated the homogeneity and flowering characteristics thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety flowers heavily as a young plant and produces large flowers of attractive color.
COMPARISION WITH PARENTS
The new variety produces larger flowers than either parent and exhibits different flower color. It further differs from its parents in flowering very early, producing dark green foliage and having a different orange flower color.
