‘DARK PINK ELGON’ is related to ‘CURRENT ELGON’ (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 09/562,201) and ‘ELGON’ (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 09/276,697). Both Currant and Dark Pink Elgon are color mutants of Elgon.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘DARK PINK ELGON’ is a product of a breeding and selection program which had the objective of finding color mutants of ‘ELGON’ AND ‘CURRANT ELGON’.

The new cultivar was discovered as a whole plant mutation in May 1998 by Rob Noodelijk in a controlled environment (greenhouse) in Rijsenhout Holland. The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘DARK PINK ELGON’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in August 1998 in Rijsenhout Holland.
