ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) named `Ravel` which originated as a sport from the inventor's controlled commercial growing of the non-patented Hydrangea macrophylla cultivar `Merritts Supreme`, and is distinguished from its parent by the unique pigmentation pattern which causes the florets and inflorescence to be both pink and white, and gives each floret a white center and four pink fan-shaped points at the outer edges, resulting in a pink and white flower at the peak of its bloom, not predominantly a pink flower. The new variety `Ravel` further possesses the favorable characteristics of: agressive, compact growth habit; long lasting large flowers and the ability to be easily forced in a greenhouse for flowering in the spring.
