DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT

[0009] The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions first performed via cuttings in May of 2011 carried out in Gifu, Japan. Plants of the new variety were grown in a greenhouse under natural light in 15 cm pots with peat moss substrate and with the assistance of heaters in the winter. The color readings and measurements were taken indoors in a greenhouse under natural light on one-year-old plants grown in containers. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London. [0010] Plant: [0011] Time to initiate roots.—About 21-28 days at approximately 25° C.
