ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinct bigeneric hybrid of Heuchera and Tiarella in the Saxifrage family (Saxifragaceae), which originated as a cross-pollination of a Tiarella (select pink seedling) (pollen parent) (unpatented) and Heuchera ‘Green Spice’ (pod parent) (unpatented).
The new xHeucherella is the result of a controlled cross of the aforementioned plants at Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc., in Canby, Oreg. This hybrid was selected from a small selection of resultant seedlings. Mother plants were retained to observe habit and to compare with their progeny. The new variety has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant and is unlike any xHeucherella offered by any American nursery or book, known to the inventor, as evidenced by the following characteristics:
1. Spring formation of extremely cut leaves in an unusual boat-and-oars pattern (later described) results in the leaf surface being restricted to the width of the vein for a section of the leaf, terminated in a leaflet;
2. Unusual pink flowers.
Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture as done in Tigard, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present information has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
