Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Anthurium plant named ‘Pink Champion’ characterized by having plants that flower early and fully and can be sold at different stages from a mini-type of 35 cm in height to a larger plant that is 70 cm in height. The peduncle of ‘Pink Champion’ is long and erect and therefore the flowers are held well above the foliage. The plant habit is full due to shoot formation, and the leaves are dark-green, compact and durable with light-green primary veins. The flowers are durable and, at first, are pink in color becoming green when maturing. The part of the spathe near the spadix turns first into green. After approximately 20 weeks, the flower becomes completely green. The green color of the spathe is lighter than the green color of the leaves. The amount of flowers is large in relation to the amount of leaf blades and therefore the ratio of leaf to flower size is excellent.
