Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Ivy Geranium having a better, more intense red color than Nanette. The new variety flowers earlier and its florets have more petals than either Nanette or Nicole. The new variety has more florets per umbel than either Nanette or Nicole. The new variety is more rounded and controlled than either Nanette or Nicole.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×peltatum known by the varietal name "Belle". The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program by Jennifer Mosier. The new variety is a selection from a seedling cross from Nicole, the seed parent, ×Nanette, the pollen parent, (U.S. Plant Pat. Nos. 7,358 and 7,360, respectively).
The new cultivar was discovered in 1988 at 152 Oglevee Lane, Connellsville, Pa., and was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in January, 1989 at Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinct characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar has leaves similar to Nanette and a compactness and ability to produce more flowers similar to Nicole. The new cultivar has a more intense red than Nanette with the early flowering. The new cultivar also has more florets per umbel and the plant is more rounded and controlled than either parent.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., using full light until May 10th at which time shade was applied to give a maximum light at 4500 F.C., 60° F. night temperature, 68° F. day temperature, 70° F. vent temperature, and grown in a peat media with constant fertilizer of 200 parts per million nitrogen and potassium, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in 10 cm. pot of seven weeks.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed descriptions set forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The plants were started as rooted cuttings which were potted and then flowered seven weeks later. The plant histories were taken of plants blossomed under full light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
A new geranium that improves Nanette in color by providing a cleaner, brighter, crisper and more red like tone and an improved bloom size and shape. Nicole was used as a parent because it is arguably the best ivy geranium on the market. Belle gets its flower shape, earliness and good blooming from this parent.
