Abstract

A new and distinct Peperomia cultivar named ‘HOPE’ is disclosed, characterized by unique leaf shape, vigorous growth and good shelf life. The new variety is a Peperomia, normally produced as an indoor ornamental plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Peperomia deppeana×quadrifolia.
Variety denomination: ‘HOPE’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new Peperomia cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Josephus van der Velden, in Sint-Oedenrode, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Peperomia varieties for ornamental commercial applications. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during February 2007
The seed parent is the unpatented variety referred to as Peperomia deppeana. The pollen parent is an unnamed variety of Peperomia quadrifolia, The new variety was discovered in July 2007 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the February crossing, in a commercial nursery at Sint-Oedenrode, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘HOPE’ by vegetative cuttings was first performed at a commercial nursery Sint-Oedenrode, The Netherlands in the Summer of 2008 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘HOPE’ 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 ‘HOPE’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘HOPE’ as a new and distinct Peperomia cultivar:
    • 1. Unique leaf shape
    • 2. Vigorous growth
    • 3. Good shelf life
PARENTAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘HOPE’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Peperomia deppeana in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘HOPE’ produce bigger and thicker leaves that are more resistant to physical stress.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘HOPE’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Peperomia quadrifolia in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘HOPE’ produce thicker leaves of brighter green color, as well shorter internodes.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘HOPE’ are best compared to the parent varieties.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘HOPE’ grown in a greenhouse, in a 12 cm pot. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 5 months old from a rooted cutting. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘HOPE’ plants grown in a greenhouse during spring in Sint-Oedenrode, The Netherlands. The growing temperature was approximately 75° F. during the day and 68° F. during the night. General light conditions are bright, normal sunlight. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types. Plants are approximately 5 months old from a rooted cutting.
