Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘KRBEVPE02’ characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely flowering habit; semi-double type flowers that are light orange and light red in color and held above and beyond the foliar plane; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Begonia x hiemalis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘KRBEVPE02’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant, botanically known as Begonia x hiemalis, commercially referred to as an Elatior Begonia and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘KRBEVPE02’.
The new Begonia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Ermelo, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new vigorous Begonia plants with excellent postproduction longevity and attractive flower color.
The new Begonia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Ermelo, The Netherlands in January, 2013 of a proprietary selection of Begonia x tuberhybrida hybrid identified as code number KV11K1933-011, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Begonia socotrana identified as code number S00, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Begonia 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 Ermelo, The Netherlands in January, 2014. Asexual reproduction of the new Begonia plant by terminal vegetative cuttings taken in a controlled greenhouse environment in Ermelo, The Netherlands since April, 2014 has shown that the unique features of this new Begonia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Begonia have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘KRBEVPE02’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘KRBEVPE02’ as a new and distinct Begonia plant:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Semi-double type flowers that are light orange and light red in color and held above and beyond the foliar plane.
- 5. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have yellow-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have light red purple-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the Begonia have semi-double type flowers whereas plants of the male parent selection have single type flowers.
Plants of the new Begonia can be compared to plants of Begonia x hiemalis ‘Dark Britt’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Ermelo, The Netherlands, plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of ‘Dark Britt’ in flower type as plants of ‘Dark Britt’ have more fully double type flowers. In addition, plants of the new Begonia have larger flowers than plants of ‘Dark Britt’.
Plants of the new Begonia can also be compared to plants of Begonia x hiemalis ‘KRELECE01’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,187. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Ermelo, The Netherlands, plants of the new Begonia differ primarily from plants of ‘KRELECE01’ in flower type as plants of ‘KRELECE01’ have fully double type flowers. In addition, plants of the new Begonia and ‘KRELECE01’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘KRELECE01’ have cerise-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Begonia 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 Begonia plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘KRBEVPE02’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet are close up views of the upper (right) and lower (left) surfaces of typical leaves and flowers of ‘KRBEVPE02’, and in the center of the photograph is a close-up view of typical flower buds.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the late spring and early summer in 12-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Ermelo, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Begonia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 20° C. and night temperatures averaged 18° C. Plants were three months old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
