ABSTRACT:
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Cotinus coggygria
cultivar Ancot.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Cotinus coggygria
and referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘Ancot’. The new variety was discovered by the inventor in a cultivated area of Boskoop, The Netherlands in 1989. The inventor selected the seedling, which exhibited phenotypic variation, from a seedling batch of
Cotinus coggygria
(not patented) seed.
‘Ancot’ is distinguished from all other existing
Cotinus coggygria
(not patented) varieties by its golden yellow leaves suffused with lime-green coloring. They remain this color from spring through summer. In fall the leaves turn different colors including amber, burgundy, scarlet and green, before becoming deciduous as winter approaches. Thus far, no flowers have been exhibited by the new Cotinus cultivar ‘Ancot’.
The first asexual propagation was done by cuttings in 1990 by the inventor in Boskoop, The Netherlands. Since that time all subsequent generations have been found to be fixed and stable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following characteristics represent the distinguishing traits of the new variety of
Cotinus coggygria
named ‘Ancot’:
1. The foliage in spring and summer is golden yellow suffused with lime-green coloring.
2. The leaves change to several different colors in fall including the colors amber, scarlet, burgundy and green.
3. No flowering has been observed thus far.
4. ‘Ancot’ is deciduous in winter.
