| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) named 'Ravel' which originated as a sport from the inventor's controlled commercial growing of the non-patented Hydrangea macrophylla cultivar 'Merritts Supreme', and is distinguished from its parent by the unique pigmentation pattern which causes the florets and inflorescence to be both pink and white, and gives each floret a white center and four pink fan-shaped points at the outer edges, resulting in a pink and white flower at the peak of its bloom, not predominantly a pink flower. The new variety 'Ravel' further possesses the favorable characteristics of: agressive, compact growth habit; long lasting large flowers and the ability to be easily forced in a greenhouse for flowering in the spring.
