Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Eupatorium dubium plant is provided that was discovered while growing among a population of seedlings in a nursery at Jennersville, Pa. A stiffer more upright and more compact growth habit is displayed. The attractive light lavender inflorescence also is more compact. Superior drought tolerance has been observed. The new variety is particularly well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in smaller landscapes and for growing in areas that experience less rainfall.

Description

[0001]Botanical / commercial classification: Eupatorium dubium / Eupatorium Plant.[0002]Varietal denomination: cv. ‘Little Joe’.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The new Eupatorium dubium plant was discovered while growing among a population of seedlings of this species in a nursery setting at Jennersville, Pa., U.S.A. The exact parentage of the new variety is unknown. I was primarily initially attracted to a single plant of the new variety in view of its more compact upright growth habit and more compact inflorescence. The single plant of the new variety was carefully preserved and evaluated. Had this plant not been discovered and preserved it would have been lost to mankind.[0004]It was found that the new Eupatorium dubium plant of the present invention exhibits the following combination of characteristics:[0005](a) forms a stiffer more upright and more compact growth habit,[0006](b) displays an attractive more compact light lavender inflorescence, and[0007](c) displays greater drought to...
