Summary: The plants of 'PER6115' have fewer branches than those of 'Peterstar Red'. The plants of 'PER6115' are taller than those of 'Eckanezka'. The anthocyanin colouration on the middle third of the stem of 'PER6115' is of medium intensity while it is of weak intensity for both reference varieties. The anthocyanin colouration on the upper third of the stem of 'PER6115' is of medium to strong intensity while it is of weak intensity for 'Peterstar Red' and weak to medium intensity for 'Eckanezka'. The upper side of the leaf blade of 'PER6115' is medium to dark green while the leaf blade of 'Peterstar Red' is light to medium green and that of 'Eckanezka' is dark green. The largest bract of 'PER6115' is larger than those of both reference varieties. The inner side of the bract of 'PER6115' is red while the bract of 'Peterstar Red' is lighter orange red and the bract of 'Eckanezka' is lighter pinker red. The anthocyanin colouration on the midrib of the lower side of the bract of 'PER6115' is medium to strong intensity while it is absent for 'Peterstar Red' and of weak to medium intensity for 'Eckanezka'.

Origin & Breeding History: 'PER6115' originated from a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of the Euphorbia pulcherrima variety '490' discovered in December 2014 in Encinitas, California, U.S.A. 'PER6115' was selected based on its plant growth habit, vigorous growth, large inflorescence, bract colour and appearance and post-production longevity. Asexual reproduction of 'PER6115' was originally conducted by terminal vegetative cuttings in January 2015 in Encinitas, California, U.S.A.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'PER6115' was conducted in 2017 in St. Catherines, Ontario. The trial included 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on July 27, 2017. The pots were spaced 30 cm apart, pot centre to centre. Measured characteristics were based on measurements taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, on December 5, 2017. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
