ABSTRACT:
Variety denomination: ‘EVIpo015’.
Botanical classification: Genus—
Clematis
. Species—
viticella.
Commercial classification: Late Flowering Cultivar.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of
Clematis
which originated from a chance pollination between an unnamed female seed parent plant (unpatented) and an unknown male pollen parent plant.
The seed resulting from the chance pollination was germinated in a controlled environment. The new variety is named ‘EVIpo015’.
The objective of the selection of this
Clematis
variety for commercial glasshouse and nursery culture was to create a new and distinct variety with unique qualities that this variety has:
1. Profusion of semi-nodding light purple flowers;
2. Long lasting flowers;
3. Non clinging habit;
4. Summer flowering;
5. Suitability for cultivation under glasshouse conditions;
6. Cold tolerant to USDA cold hardiness zone three.
These qualities required improvement in
Clematis
varieties that were in commercial cultivation and the objectives have been substantially achieved in the new variety, as evidenced by the unique combination of characteristics that are present in ‘EVIpo015’ which distinguish it from all other varieties of which we are aware. ‘Evipo015’ differs from its female parent primarily in flower color.
The seeds from the aforementioned chance pollination were germinated and evaluations of the resulting seedling plants were conducted in a controlled environment. As a result, ‘EVIpo015’ was selected by Raymond J. Evison and Mogens N. Olesen in their
Clematis
development program in Domarie Vineries Les Sauvagees, St. Sampsons, Guernsey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom in July of 1998.
Asexual reproduction of ‘EVIpo015’ by cuttings was first done by Raymond J. Evison and Mogens N. Olesen in Domarie Vineries Les Sauvagees, St. Sampsons, Guernsey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom in August 1998. This initial and subsequent propagations have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘EVIpo015’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
