ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a Viburnum which is a product of open pollination of a seed parent
Viburnum dentatum
(unpatented) with an unidentified pollen parent. I first discovered this plant in a row of un-named
Viburnum dentatum
seedlings in a nursery in Plainsboro Township, N.J. in 1991. I asexually reproduced the plant by means of soft wood cuttings in a greenhouse in Plainsboro Twp. in New Jersey in 1993. I have observed the plants thus produced and find that the characteristics initially observed are in fact reproduced in successive generations.
The Viburnum family includes a varied and diversified group of shrubs grown for their ornamental value. They are appreciated for their white, cream and sometimes pink spring flowers, good foliage, interesting shape, their colored fruit which attracts birds, and their showy autumn color.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The plant of this invention is characterized by turning brilliant red in October in USDA hardiness zone 4 and maintaining the red color into late November. The shrub is very cold hardy, having withstood temperatures down to −20° F. (−28° C.) without damage. The foliage is more brilliant and is longer lasting than that of the seed parent and other plants of the species.
