Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Ivy Geranium having a variegated green and white foliage color. The leaves exhibit minimal leaf cupping. The cutting production is good with the rooting speed and propagation survival rate being very good. The neat cascading ball form and the medium size growth allow ease in shipping and handling.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium x peltatum known by the varietal name `Evka` (Oglevee, Ltd. No. 5223). The new variety was discovered in the Slovakian Republic in February of 1994 and was first asexually reproduced in January of 1995. It is a mutation of the unpatented variety `Ville der Paris`. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in the United States at Oglevee, Ltd., 152 Oglevee Lane, Connellsville, Pa. in January of 1996. It has been found to retain its distinct characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., using full light, 60° F. night temperature, 68° F. day temperature, 72° . vent, and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer of 200-250 parts per million calcium nitrate and potassium nitrate, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in 10 cm. pot of six weeks.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
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. The full light was that of the winter months with color readings being taken in early February. Spring or summer light conditions will result in an inflorescence coloring having a more true shade of red. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

A new geranium that is a unique new addition to the group of "mini-cascade" ivy geraniums. The variegated green and white foliage color is outstanding in uniformity. This variety also exhibits much less leaf cupping which is a problem in variegated geraniums of this type. Cutting production is equal to or better than the current market variety `Mini Cascade Red` also known as "Rotemica" (unpatented). Rooting speed and propagation survival rate are both very good. As a finished product this variety produces a neat cascading ball in a hanging basket and the medium size growth habit allows ease in shipping and handling.
