Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Geranium maculatum plant named `Elizabeth Ann`, characterized by its vigorous growth rate; upright and freely branching plant habit; brownish red stem color; unique chocolate brown leaf color; numerous single lavender flowers; and brown peduncles and pedicels.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hardy Geranium plant, botanically known as Geranium maculatum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Elizabeth Ann`.
The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor from seedling progeny from a cross of unidentified selections of Geranium maculatum in an outdoor production area in Baltimore, Md.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by divisions taken at Baltimore, Md., and Royersford, Pa., has shown that the unique features of this new Hardy Geranium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Elizabeth Ann`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Elizabeth Ann` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Vigorous growth rate, upright plant habit, freely branching.
2. Brownish red stem color.
3. Unique chocolate brown leaf color. During the spring and summer, foliage maintains brown coloration in partial sun and full sun exposures. Foliage turns reddish brown in autumn. Petioles, brown.
4. Numerous single lavender flowers. Plants flower throughout spring until summer and may reflower in the autumn.
5. Brown peduncle and pedicel color.
6. Plants usually do not become dormant during the winter.
The cultivar `Elizabeth Ann` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of `Elizabeth Ann`.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flowers of `Elizabeth Ann`.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves of `Elizabeth Ann`. Foliage and flower colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
