Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘Ice Punch’, characterized by its uniform, upright, compact and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; mid-season flowering response; inflorescences with cherry red and pink bi-colored flower bracts; and excellent post-production longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Euphorbia pulcherrima.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Ice Punch’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant, botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd., and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Ice Punch’.
The new Poinsettia is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Poinsettia cultivar Eckabish, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,200. The new Poinsettia was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Tönisvorst, Germany. The new Poinsettia was selected on the basis of its unique flower bract coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings propagated in a controlled environment in Tönisvorst, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The cultivar Ice Punch has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Ice Punch’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ice Punch’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia.
-
- 1. Uniform, upright, compact and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Mid-season flowering response; under natural season conditions, plants flower in about 8.5 weeks in Encinitas, Calif.
- 5. Inflorescences with cherry red and pink bi-colored flower bracts.
- 6. Excellent post-production longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the parent, the cultivar Eckabish, primarily in flower bract coloration as plants of the cultivar Eckabish have solid cherry red-colored flower bracts.
Plants of the new Poinsettia can be compared to plants of the Poinsettia cultivar 490 Marble, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,833. In side-by-side comparison conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the cultivar 490 Marble primarily in flower bract coloration as plants of the cultivar 490 Marble have light pink and pale yellow-colored flower bracts.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Poinsettia. These photographs show the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Poinsettia.
The photograph at the bottom of sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Ice Punch’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Ice Punch’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif. during the spring in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Poinsettia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 24° C., night averaged 19° C. and light levels were about 4,000 foot-candles. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Single plants were grown in 16.5-cm pots and pinched one time. Plants were about 14 weeks old when the photographs and the detailed description were taken.
