Abstract

The new cultivar is an early, continuous flowering variety. Its elegant coral red flowers have big umbels and continuously flower. It demonstrates good garden performance and greenhouse propagation. It also has a medium mound habit with more controlled and uniform growth for bench run finishing. The new cultivar is an improvement in comparison to the variety "Sunbelt Coral."

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name "Orapin" in the United States and marketed as "Northern Lights" outside the United States. The new cultivar was discovered at Elsner pac Jungpflanzen in Dresden, Germany, in November 1988. The new variety was discovered as a selection from a meristem propagation of the unpatented Orangepen cultivar. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa., in January 1994. It has also been trial and field tested at Elsner pac Jungflanzen in Dresden, Germany, and at Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa., and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The plant history has taken on six-week plants blossomed under the natural light in a greenhouse in 10 cm pots. The cultivar when grown in a glass greenhouse was potted on Feb. 13, 1996 and flowered on Mar. 25, 1996.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics was collected from asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The plant history was taken on six-week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and the color readings were taken indoors under 200-220 footcandles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
