ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification:
Clematis viticella.
Variety name: ‘EVIpo017’.
Commercial: Early large flowering cultivar.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION/DISCOVERY
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of Clematis which originated from a controlled crossing between Clematis ‘Royalty’, un-patented and Clematis ‘Silver Moon’, un-patented. The two parents were crossed and the resulting seed was planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named ‘EVIpo017’.
‘Evipo017’ may be distinguished from the female seed parent by the following characteristic. ‘Royalty’ has a much darker purple flower color than ‘Evipo017’.
‘Evipo017’ may be distinguished from the male pollen parent by the following characteristic. While ‘Silver Moon’ is similar in flower color to the claimed plant, anthers on reproductive parts are different in color. Anthers of ‘Evipo017’ are more brown colored, while they are yellow in color on ‘Silver Moon’.
The objective of the hybridization of this Clematis variety for commercial glasshouse and nursery culture was to create a new and distinct variety with:
1. Light violet flowers.
2. Free flowering, with good repeat flowering.
3. Extremely compact habit.
4. Flowers well as a young plant.
5. Well suited for small containers.
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 ‘EVIpo017’ which distinguish it from all other varieties of which we are aware.
The seeds from the hybridization were germinated and evaluations were conducted of the resulting Clematis plants in a controlled environment. ‘EVIpo017’ 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 April of 1998.
Asexual reproduction of ‘EVIpo017’ 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 May 1998. This initial and subsequent propagations have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘EVIpo017’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
