ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinct hybrid of Pulmonaria, which originated as a cross between Pulmonaria ‘Excalibur’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,958 (pollen parent) and Pulmonaria ‘Berries and Cream’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,597 (seed parent), both of hybrid origin, in the family Boraginaceae. Both parents originated in Canby, Oreg. As the instant and parent plants are of interspecific hybrid origins, no species designations are assigned.
This new Pulmonaria is a result of a controlled cross of the aforementioned plants in Canby, Oreg. This hybrid was selected from a large number of seedlings. Seed and pollen parent plants were retained to observe habit and to compare with the present invention. 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 Pulmonaria offered by any American nursery or in any book, known to the inventor, as evidenced by the following characteristics:
1. Strongly undulated leaf edges; and
2. Entirely silvered upper leaf surface with a fine edge of green highlighting the undulations.
Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture done in Tigard and Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention 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.
