ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification: Pulmonaria hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘Mountain Magic’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of a hardy perennial of the genus Pulmonaria, and known by the cultivar name ‘Mountain Magic’. The genus Pulmonaria is a member of the family Boraginaceae.
The new cultivar originated as an open-pollinated cross between unknown parents in a field of selected hybrid Pulmonaria. This is known to be an outcross because Pulmonaria does not normally self-pollinate. Due to the fact that the instant plant and parent plants are interspecific hybrids from several generations of interbreeding and selecting, no species designations are given.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This new cultivar is characterized by:
1) Strong purple to brilliant violet colored flowers;
2) Upfacing flowers;
3) Large flower size;
4) Foliage with prominent silver spotting and blotching.
5) Undulating leaf margins;
6) Medium, compact habit;
7) Excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). The tissue culture method used is micropropagation from the axillary buds. Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture as done in 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.
