Abstract
A new and distinct regal Pelargonium having rose pink flowers with deep burgundy upper petals and a scarlet eye on the lower petals with a white center above a mound of medium green foliage. The new cultivar has improved cutting production, rooting speed, and branching and earlier flowering time than ‘Fantasy’.
Description
This discovery relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) identified by the name of ‘Fascination’, Breeder No. 93-11-4 and Oglevee, Ltd. No. 978. The cultivar was discovered in an organized, scientifically designed breeding program conducted at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. The new cultivar is the offspring of two unpatented breeding cultivars, Breeder Nos. 87-92-1 (female) and 90-12-5 (male). The floral color and flowering time are similar to the seed parent. The new cultivar's plant habit is not quite as compact as either parent. The purpose of the breeding program was to create new regal Pelargonium genotypes with clear, bright flower colors, excellent propagation characteristics, compact growth habit, predictable and consistent flowering response and good postharvest quality. The new cultivar was produced from prior selections developed at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. since 1977. The pedigree of this cultivar includes the patented cultivars ‘Splendor’ and ‘Fantasy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. Nos. 7,656 and 7,538, respectively) and other unpatented cultivars as shown in FIG. 2.
The selection was first asexually propagated by cuttings at The Pennsylvania State University and subsequently at Oglevee, Ltd., 152 Oglevee Lane, Connellsville, Pa. The new cultivar reproduces true and been found to retain its characteristics through successive generations.
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 at 150-200 ppm nitrogen and potassium, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in a 6 inch pot of fourteen weeks. Rooted cuttings potted Oct. 15, 1997 flowered on Feb. 9, 1998.
FIG. 1 depicts a top perspective view of the new cultivar.
FIG. 2 depicts a flowchart of the pedigree of the new cultivar. Colors depicted in FIG. 1 are as nearly true as is possible with a color illustration 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 in Connellsville, Pa. The color readings on a plants grown in a 5 inch pot 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. The data was taken from plants 14 weeks old.
