Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘Extrepink’, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant form; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; large light red purple-colored flowers with darker red purple-colored centers and venation; and good flower longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Hibiscus moscheutos.
Cultivar denomination: ‘EXTREPINK’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant, botanically known as Hibiscus moscheutos and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Extrepink’.
The new Hibiscus plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Hibiscus plants with attractive and large flowers.
The new Hibiscus plant originated from a cross-pollination in August, 2008 in De Kwakel, The Netherlands of Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Sparkle’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,798 as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Hibiscus moscheutos identified as code number CB51, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Hibiscus plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in July, 2009.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hibiscus plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since August, 2009, has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Hibiscus have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment conditions such as temperature 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 ‘Extrepink’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Extrepink’ as a new and distinct Hibiscus plant:
    • 1. Upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant form.
    • 2. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Large light red purple-colored flowers with darker red purple-colored centers and venation.
    • 5. Good flower longevity.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the parent, ‘Sparkle’. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ primarily from plants of ‘Sparkle’ in flower color as plants of ‘Sparkle’ have white-colored flowers with red purple-colored centers and venation.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more compact than and not as vigorous as plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus have narrower leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Hibiscus and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Mauvelous’, not patented. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ primarily from plants of ‘Mauvelous’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are not as compact as plants of ‘Mauvelous’.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Hibiscus and ‘Mauvelous’ differ in color as plants of ‘Mauvelous’ have darker-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hibiscus plant showing 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 Hibiscus plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Extrepink’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Extrepink’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Extrepink’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the late summer in five-liter containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Kwakel, The Netherlands and under conditions which closely approximate commercial Hibiscus production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 33° C. and night temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 25° C. Plants were 14 weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
