Example

[0018]The plants shown in the figures are approximately 50 weeks old. The plant started out as cuttings, taken from the stem of a grown plant. The cuttings were placed in a pot and the soil was periodically treated with aluminum to produce blue pigmentation. The plant was pinched early to promote lateral branches.

[0019]‘BC6.1’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length. Color determinations were made with The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart, in association with the Flower Council of Holland, located in Lieden.

THE PLANT

[0020]Origin: Controlled cross. The new cultivar originated as a seedling from a controlled cross between the unpatented variety known as ‘LK49’ which was the seed parent and the unpatented, commercial variety ‘Amsterdam’ which was the pollen parent.[0021]Form: Upright, compact shrub. A typical plant with a ma...

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) named ‘BC6.1’ originated as a controlled cross between unpatented varieties. The cultivar ‘BC6.1’ can be blue or red depending on the acidity of the soil and the presence of aluminum. The variety ‘BC6.1’ has large attractive inflorescences with large sepalous florets, distinct sepal pigmentation and good commercial characteristics. When grown in the presence of aluminum, the under side of the sepals is R.H.S. 86 A (violet group), the underside of the sepals is R.H.S. 88 D (violet group).

Description

[0001]Botanical classification: Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) ‘BC6.1’.[0002]Variety denomination: ‘BC6.1’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of the Saxifragaceae family. The botanical name of the plant is Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) ‘BC6.1’.[0004]The new cultivar originated as a seedling from a controlled cross between the unpatented variety known as ‘LK49’ which was the seed parent and the unpatented, commercial variety ‘Amsterdam’ which was the pollen parent. ‘LK49’ is relatively compact plant with wiry stems, relatively small leaves, relatively small sepalous florets, and inflorescences that are resistant to being damaged by conditions in commercial coolers. ‘Amsterdam’ is a relatively compact plant with relatively thick stems, relatively large leaves, and medium sized sepalous florets. The inflorescences of ‘Amsterdam’ are not particularly resistant to being damaged by conditions in commercial coolers.[0005]The variety ‘BC6...
