Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Begonia rex-cultorum plant named ‘BBEN033-0’ is disclosed, characterized by a large palmate foliage. Plants have silver foliage with a dark pink center and distinctive very dark greyed-purple to black margin. Plants are large, upright and grow rapidly. The new variety is a Begonia, normally used as an ornamental garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Begonia rex-cultorum.
Variety denomination: ‘BBEN033-0’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is the product of a planned breeding program. The new variety originated as the result of a cross performed during 2018 of an unnamed, unpatented proprietary Begonia rex-cultorum as the seed parent, and the unpatented Begonia rex-cultorum ‘Midnight Magic’ as the pollen parent. The selection of the new variety was made during August of 2018 by the inventor at a research greenhouse located in Wales, UK.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ was first performed at a research greenhouse located in Wales, UK by terminal vegetative cuttings in August of 2018. ‘BBEN033-0’ has since produced three generations by vegetative cuttings and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ 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 ‘BBEN033-0’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘BBEN033-0’ as a new and distinct Begonia rex-cultorum cultivar:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Palmate leaf.
    • 3. Rapid growth.
    • 4. Large plant.
    • 5. Silver foliage with a dark pink center and distinctive very dark greyed-purple to black margin.
PARENT COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ are similar to plants of the seed parent variety in most horticultural characteristics. However, plants of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ differ in the following:
    • 1. Leaves of the new variety are larger than leaves of the seed parent.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety have a shorter, less leggy habit than the seed parent.
    • 3. Plants of the new variety grow faster than plants of the seed parent.
    • 4. Plants of the new variety have shorter internodes than the seed parent plant.
    • 5. Foliage of the new variety has a pink center and dark margins not found on the seed parent.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent variety in most horticultural characteristics. However, plants of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ differ in the following:
    • 1. Leaves of the new variety are palmate, leaves of the pollen parent are cordate.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety are taller than plants of the pollen parent.
    • 3. Foliage of the new variety is silver with a dark pink heart and very dark purple to black margin, foliage of the seed parent is dark green.
    • 4. Plants of the new variety are not as susceptible to fungal infection as are plants of the pollen parent.
    • 5. Foliage of the new variety is not as deeply rugose as foliage of the pollen parent.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ are similar to plants of the commercial variety, Begonia ‘BDIBL12-0’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 33,502 in most horticultural characteristics including plant habit and leaf shape. Foliage color of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ differs in the following:
    • 1. Foliage of the new variety has a silver background, distinctive dark pink center and very dark purple to black margin. Foliage color of ‘BDIBL12-0’ has a distinct lavender pater than becomes more vivid and darker towards the center.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘BBEN033-0’ are similar to plants of the commercial variety, Begonia ‘BRXBR15-0’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,110 in most horticultural characteristics. Plants of the new cultivar ‘BBBEN033-0’ differ in the following:
    • 1. Foliage of the new variety has a jagged margin not found on ‘BRXBR15-0’.
    • 2. Foliage of the new variety is silver with a dark pink center and very dark purple to black margin; foliage of ‘BRXBR15-0’ is red with black margins.
    • 3. Plants of the new variety are shorter than plants of this comparator.
