ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hosta plant, botanically known as Hosta hybrid, and hereinafter referred to by the culitvar name Paradise Joyce.
The new Hosta was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, as a whole plant mutation of the Hosta hybrid cultivar Halcyon, not patented, in 1993. Plants of the cultivar Halcyon have solid blue-green-colored leaves whereas plants of the new Hosta have variegated leaves.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by divisions harvested in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Hosta are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Paradise Joyce have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, irrigation amount and frequency, and/or fertilizer rate without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Paradise Joyce’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Paradise Joyce’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Variegated leaf color.
2. Relatively compact plant habit.
3. Light lavender-colored flowers that are positioned above the foliage on strong and erect scapes.
Plants of the new Hosta can be compared to plants of the variegated Hosta hybrid June, not patented. Compared to plants of the new Hosta, plants of the cultivar June have darker and duller leaf colors.
