ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification:
Clematis viticella.
Variety denomination: ‘EVIpo024’.
Commercial classification: Early and late 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 ‘Burma Star’, unpatented, and ‘H.F. Young’, un-patented. The two parents were crossed and the resulting seed was planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named “EVIpo024.”
‘EVIpo024’ may be distinguished from the pollen parent H.F. Young from its flower color. While ‘H.F. Young’ is light purple, ‘EVIpo024’ is darker, Purple Group 79D in color.
‘EVIpo024’ may be distinguished from the seed parent ‘Burma Star’ by the following characteristics. ‘Burma Star’ has darker colored filaments and stamens than ‘EVIpo024’ ‘Burma Star’ has a lighter purple flower color than ‘EVIpo024’.
The objective of the hybridization 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. Purple flowers.
2. Abundance of paler toned anthers gives flower light colored center.
3. Very free flowering, good repeat flowering.
4. Extremely compact habit.
5. Flowers well as a young plant.
6. Good choice for small container use.
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 “EVIpo024” 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 seedlings in a controlled environment.
‘EVIpo024’ 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 1998.
Asexual reproduction of ‘EVIpo024’ 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 ‘EVIpo024’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
