Abstract

A new and distinct variety of ivy geranium that has a long trailing habit, a strong zone and a soft medium salmon pink appearance against a medium green foliage.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×peltatum known by the varietal name "Louise". The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program at Oglevee, Ltd. by Linda S. Wiles. The new variety is a selection from a seedling cross from Nanette, the seed parent,×Nicole, the pollen parent, (U.S. Plant Pat. Nos. 7,360 and 7,358, respectively).
The new cultivar was discovered in 1993 at 152 Oglevee Lane, Connellsville, Pa., was first asexually reproduced by cuttings on Jan. 25, 1994 at Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinct characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar has long trailing habit similar to the variety Nanette. The new cultivar's color is not similar to either parent and its habit is longer than the variety Nicole.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., using full light, 60° F. night temperature, 68° F. day temperature, and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer of 200-250 parts per million nitrogen and potassium, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in 10 cm. pot of six weeks.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawing illustrates a 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 six 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.
