ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant, botanically known as
Euphorbia pulcherrima
Willd., and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Eckadama’.
The new Poinsettia is a naturally-occuring mutation of the commercial
Euphorbia pulcherrima
Willd. cultivar ‘490’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,825. The new Poinsettia was selected by the Inventor in a greenhouse in Crestline, Ohio, in 1994.
Asexual reproduction of the new Poinsettia by terminal cuttings taken at Encinitas, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Poinsettia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be unique characteristics of ‘Eckadama’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Eckadama’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Bright coral pink bracts.
2. Dark green leaves.
3. Compact, upright and spreading plant habit.
4. Very freely branching habit.
5. Early flowering.
6. Excellent postproduction longevity.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Poinsettia differed from plants of the parent cultivar, ‘490’, primarily in bract coloration as bracts of ‘490’ are red.
