plant named ‘PEQZ0108’

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed:x interspecific.

Varietal denomination: ‘PEQZ0108’.

The present invention comprises a new, botanically known asx interspecific, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘PEQZ0108’

‘PEQZ0108’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar ‘PEQZ0108’ has large white colored inflorescences with a red spot in the middle of the floret above medium green foliage, on a large mounding plant.

‘PEQZ0108’ originates from a hybridization in a controlled breeding program made in May 2019 in a greenhouse in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands. The female parent was an unpatented plant ofx interspecific parentage identified as ‘PEZBE5098-6V’ with very large light green foliage when compared to ‘PEQZ0108’.

The male parent of ‘PEQZ0108’ was an unpatented, proprietary plant ofx interspecific parentage, identified as ‘PEZBE5079-24V’ with a paler colored lower half of the petals when compared to ‘PEQZ0108’. The resultant seed was sown in December 2019.

‘PEQZ0108’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in May 2020 in a greenhouse in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘PEQZ0108’ was accomplished when vegetative stem cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in July 2020 in a greenhouse in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in July 2020 in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘PEQZ0108’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘PEQZ0108’ 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. ‘PEQZ0108’ has not been made publicly available prior to the effective filing date of this application, notwithstanding any disclosure that may have been made less than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application by the inventor or another who obtained ‘PEQZ0108’ directly from the inventor.

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

The plant descriptions and measurements were taken in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands in May 2023 under natural light. These plants were approximately 12 weeks old and were grown in a 13 cm pot, in a greenhouse trial. The photographs were taken in May 2023.
