A new and distinct cultivar ofxplant named ‘SENS-M1’ is disclosed, characterized by white flowers held on stiff, thick, very densely flowering stems. Plants are very compact and strongly upright. Flower stems are very thick and branched, resulting in rebloom for a longer blooming season. The fragrance is strong and more floral than herbal/pungent. Tolerance for leafspot and root disease has been observed. The new cultivar is ax, normally used for outdoor ornamental purposes.

Original claims text from the patent document.
Claim 1: . A new and distinct cultivar ofplant named ‘SENS-M1’ as herein illustrated and described.
Complete technical specification and implementation details from the patent document.
Latin name of the genus and species:x
Cultivar denomination: ‘SENS-M1’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventors in Bellefonte, PA. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Lavender cultivars for ornamental commercial applications. The induced mutation resulting in this new cultivar was made during the Winter of 2020.
The parent cultivar is‘TESSERACT’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 31,786. Young plants of ‘TESSERACT’ were treated with gamma radiation. The new cultivar was selected in July of 2019 by the inventor in a group of young plants which had been treated with induced mutation. Selection of ‘SENS-M1’ was made in June of 2021 when the first flowers were observed.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was performed by vegetative terminal cuttings. This was first performed at a research greenhouse in Bellefonte, PA Jun. 30, 2021 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in at least 10 successive generations.
The cultivar ‘SENS-M1’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘SENS-M1’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SENS-M1’ as a new and distinctcultivar:
The new cultivar has white flowers. Flowers of the parent cultivar are a saturated blue. All other horticultural characteristics are identical.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SENS-M1’ are comparable to the cultivar‘Niko’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,193. The twocultivars are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new cultivar ‘SENS-M1’ differs in the following:
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SENS-M1’ can also be compared to the commercial cultivar‘Grosso’, unpatented. These cultivars are similar in most horticultural characteristics however, the new cultivar ‘SENS-M1’ differs in the following:
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance are as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2015 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘SENS-M1’ plants grown outdoors in Kintnersville, PA. Plants were vernalized at approximately 35° F. for 5 months. Plant age at description was approximately 9 months from an unrooted cutting. General light conditions are bright, normal sunlight. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
