plant named ‘HGV25’

Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein isE. Morren.

Variety denomination: The inventive variety ofdisclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘HGV25’.

Parentage: The new plant originated as a spontaneous, partial plant, branch mutation. The mutation was discovered at a commercial greenhouse in Maasland, The Netherlands, in May of 2019, growing amongst a plurality of cultivatedplant (not patented). The mutation exhibited conspicuously variegated foliage. Said branch mutation was subsequently harvested from the parent plant, rooted in a nursery container, and grown to maturity to evaluate the distinctness and stability of the characteristics first observed. Upon confirmation of its distinctness and stability, the newplant was selected for commercialization and given the name ‘HGV25’ in March 2020.

Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of ‘HGV25’ through vegetative division was first performed in May of 2019 at a commercial greenhouse in Maasland, Netherlands. Through four generations produced, ‘HGV25’ has shown that the unique features of the instant cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.

The cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the instant environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the newcultivar ‘HGV25’. These traits, in combination, distinguish ‘HGV25’ as a new and distinct cultivar.

The following is a detailed botanical description of a new and distinct variety ofknown as ‘HGV25’, based upon observations of plants, approximately one year old from a rooted cutting, grown in 12 cm nursery container in a climate-controlled greenhouse in Maasland, the Netherlands. Observation data was recorded in March of 2024. Plants were produced using conventional greenhouse production protocols forsp. which consisted of growing under shade with regular overhead irrigation. No pest control measures were utilized, and no photoperiodic treatments or artificial light was given to the plants.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, with younger plants. ‘HGV25’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such measurements are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may differ from the descriptions set forth herein with variations in environmental, climactic and cultural conditions. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 2019 Reprint.
