ABSTRACT:

Latin name:
Sedum telephium.
Cultivar name: ‘Lajos’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new form of
Sedum telephium
plant named ‘Lajos’, pronounced “Lai'-osh”. A naturally occurring sport or mutation of
Sedum telephium
‘Autumn Joy’ characterized by a butter yellow edge to the foliage, compared to the all green leaves of
Sedum telephium
‘Autumn Joy’. The parent plant,
Sedum telephium
‘Autumn Joy’ is of hybrid origin between
Sedum telephium
and
Sedum spectabile
. The new plant was found as a single 1 gallon plant by the inventor among a block of 1 gallon
Sedum telephium
‘Autumn Joy’ at a wholesale perennial nursery in Harvard, Ill. in 1997. The selection of this plant was due to it's variegated foliage. Asexual, vegetative tip cutting propagation and division has been the only means of reproduction. Propagation has taken place at Intrinsic Perennial Gardens, Inc. Hebron, Ill. since 1998. In 1999 we planted four plants out in three different locations. To date these four plants have not had any reverting. The new Sedum has shown to be stable and identical in reproduction to the parent after rooting over 500 vegetative tip cuttings from 1998 to 2002.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The new
Sedum telephium
plant named ‘Lajos’ has shown the characteristic of a yellow variegation on a tall upright Sedum to be unique and stable. Plants of the new Sedum can be compared to plants of
Sedum alboroseum
‘Frosty Morn’. 1. The new Sedum is a sport occurring on a hybrid with
telephium
while the ‘Frosty Morn’ species is
alboroseum.
2. The new Sedum has a yellow variegation, yellow group 11 C, while ‘Frosty Morn’ has a white variegation. 3. The new Sedum has a broader variegation, typically a 5 mm wide edge to the leaf while ‘Frosty Morn’ has a thinner variegation, typically 2-3 mm wide.
Plants of the new Sedum can also be compared to plants of
Sedum kamtchaticum
‘Variegatum’. 1. The new Sedum is typically upright on strong stems 30-45 cm tall while
Sedum kamtchaticum
‘Variegatum’ is typically 10 cm high. 2. The leaf size of the new Sedum is larger as well, usually 5-8 cm long and 3-4 cm wide, while
Sedum kamtchaticum
‘Variegatum’ leaves are usually 10-15 mm long and 10 mm wide. 3. The new Sedum has an overall flower color of 187 D while
Sedum kamtchaticum
‘Variegatum’ has yellow or gold flowers.
