plant named ‘PEHY0090’

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed:

Varietal denomination: ‘PEHY0090’.

The present invention comprises a new, botanically known as, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘PEHY0090’.

‘PEHY0090’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has small flowers, a red flower colour, medium early flowering and a semi trailing plant habit.

‘PEHY0090’ originated from a hybridization made in June 2020 in a controlled breeding environment in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands. The female parent was the proprietary selection ‘BB1550-21V’. Compared to ‘PEHY0090’, it is less vigorous, has a much stronger vein in the flower, is later flowering and has a deep red flower color.

The male parent of ‘PEHY0090’ was breeding line ‘PET20-0401-2’, not patented. ‘PET20-401-2’ is a plant with bright red flower color, is more vigorous and with a more trailing plant habit than ‘PEHY0090’.

The resulting seeds were sown in August 2021. ‘PEHY0090’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in November 2021 in a controlled environment in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘PEHY0090’ was accomplished when vegetative stem cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in January 2022 in a controlled environment in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in January 2022 and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘PEHY0090’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘PEHY0090’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.

A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar has not yet been applied for. ‘PEHY0090’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes thisas a new and distinct variety.

The aforementioned photographs were taken in September 2021 from plants growing indoor in 12 cm pots in Andijk, The Netherlands. These plants were approximately 12 weeks of age.

The plant descriptions and measurements were taken in September 2024 in Andijk, The Netherlands on outdoor plants grown in 35 cm containers. These plants were about 16 weeks old.
