Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant named ‘PERHC59B’, characterized by its uniform, upright and mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; early season flowering response; large inflorescences with bright red purple-colored flower bracts with light pink-colored margins; and good post-production longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Euphorbia×hybrid.
Cultivar denomination: ‘PERHC59B’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Euphorbia plant, botanically known as Euphorbia×hybrid, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘PERHC59B’.
The new Euphorbia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Encinitas, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new uniform Euphorbia plants having large inflorescences with bright red purple-colored flower bracts and excellent post-production longevity.
The new Euphorbia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in May, 2006 of a proprietary selection of Euphorbia×hybrid identified as code number PE3-63, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent, with a proprietary selection of Euphorbia×hybrid identified as code number 76-01, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Euphorbia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Encinitas, Calif. in December, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Euphorbia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Encinitas, Calif. since January, 2008 has shown that the unique features of this new Euphorbia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Euphorbia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. 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 ‘PERHC59B’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘PERHC59B’ as a new and distinct Euphorbia plant:
    • 1. Uniform, upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 5. Early season flowering response; under natural season conditions, plants flower in early November in Southern California.
    • 6. Large inflorescences with bright red purple-colored flower bracts with light pink-colored margins.
    • 7. Good post-production longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Euphorbia differ primarily from plants of the female parent in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Euphorbia are more freely branching than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Euphorbia have darker green-colored leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Flower bracts of plants of the new Euphorbia are bright red purple in color whereas flower bracts of plants of the female parent selection are bright red in color.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Euphorbia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower bract color as flower bracts of plants of the new Euphorbia are bright red purple in color whereas flower bracts of plants of the male parent selection are medium pink in color.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can be compared to plants of the Euphorbia×hybrid ‘PERHC18B’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Euphorbia differed primarily from plants of ‘PERHC18B’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Euphorbia were more vigorous than plants of ‘PERHC18B’.
    • 2. Flower bracts of plants of the new Euphorbia were bright red purple in color whereas flower bracts of plants of ‘PERHC18B’ were medium pink in color.
Plants of the new Euphorbia can also be compared to plants of the Euphorbia pulcherrima×Euphorbia cornastra ‘Eckcory’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,849. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Euphorbia differed primarily from plants of ‘Eckcory’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Euphorbia had thicker lateral branches than plants of ‘Eckcory’.
    • 2. Flower bracts of plants of the new Euphorbia were bright red purple in color whereas flower bracts of plants of ‘Eckcory’ were hot pink in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Euphorbia 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 Euphorbia plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘PERHC59B’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘PERHC59B’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and in the following description were grown during the autumn and winter in 16.5-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Encinitas, Calif. and under natural season conditions and cultural practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Euphorbia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 24° C., night averaged 17° C. and light levels ranged from 3,500 to 4,500 foot-candles. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were pinched one time and were 18 weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
