ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new Lilac plant of the present invention was created at Harwood, N. Dak., by the cross of
Syringa meyeri
‘Palibin’ (non-patented in the United States) and
Syringa microphylla
‘Superba’ (non-patented in the United States). The parentage can be summarized as follows:
‘Palibin’בSuperba’
Seed from the cross was collected during 1976, was planted, and the resulting plants were observed. A single plant of new cultivar was selected during 1985 in view of its distinctive ornamental characteristics. This plant initially was designated ‘No. 85-1’.
It was found that the cultivar of
Syringa meyeri×Syringa microphylla
exhibits the following combination of characteristics:
(a) Exhibits a compact growth habit,
(b) Forms attractive trusses of wine-colored buds that mature during late spring into pick blossoms having a spicy fragrance,
(c) Exhibits good winter hardiness, and
(d) Is well-suited for growing as a distinctive ornamental shrub in the landscape.
The new cultivar of the present invention provides a highly distinctive blossom coloration to the landscape that is displayed in late spring after many other shrubs have finished flowering. It can be grown to advantage as a specimen shrub or as a part of a mass planting. The superior hardiness of the
Syringa meyeri
‘Palibin’ parent which generally is lacking in the
Syringa microphylla
‘Superba’ parent is well imparted to the new cultivar of the present invention.
The new cultivar of the present invention was asexually propagated by the use of rooted cuttings at St. Paul, Minn., during 1992, and the progeny were field planted during 1993. The distinctive characteristics of the new cultivar have been found to be stable and to be capable of transmission from one generation to another following such asexual propagation.
The new cultivar of the present invention has been named ‘Bailbelle’. It is a member of the FAIRYTALE™ Series of Lilac plants, and is being marketed under the TINKERBELLE trademark.
