Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant named ‘Jolly Bee’, characterized by its large violet flowers with purple veins and light lavender centers; long flowering period; and good garden performance.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant, botanically known as Geranium shikokianum×G. wallichianum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Jolly Bee.
The new Geranium is a product of a planned and controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Warmond, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new interspecific Geraniums that are winter-hardy with large violet and light lavender flowers.
The new cultivar originated from a cross by the Inventor between an unnamed selection of Geranium shikokianum var. yoshiianum as the female, or seed, parent with the G. wallichianum cultivar Buxton's Variety as the male or pollen parent. The cultivar Jolly Bee was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1998 as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Warmond, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by divisions taken at Warmond, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Warmond, The Netherlands, the following differences between the new Geranium and the female parent, an unnamed selection of G. shikokianum var. yoshiianum, have been observed:
1. Plants of the new Geranium are more vigorous than plants of the unnamed selection of G. shikokianum var. yoshiianum.
2. Plants of the new Geranium are larger than plants of the unnamed selection of G. shikokianum var. yoshiianum.
3. Plants of the new Geranium and plants of the unnamed selection of G. shikokianum var. yoshiianum differ in flower color.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Warmond, The Netherlands, the following differences between the new Geranium and the male parent, the G. wallichianum cultivar Buxton's Variety, have been observed:
1. Plants of the new Geranium are larger than plants of the cultivar Buxton's Variety.
2. Flowers of plants of the new Geranium are larger than flowers of plants of the cultivar Buxton's Variety.
3. Plants of the new Geranium are more winter-hardy than plants of the cultivar Buxton's Variety.
Plants of the cultivar Jolly Bee have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertilizer rate without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Jolly Bee’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Jolly Bee’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large violet flowers with purple veins and light lavender centers.
2. Long flowering period.
3. Good garden performance.
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. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Geranium.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Jolly Bee’.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Jolly Bee’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves and flowers of ‘Jolly Bee’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower bud and a typical flower of ‘Jolly Bee’. The age and the environmental conditions of the plant depicted in the photograph are the same as those described in the Detailed Botanical Description.
The following observations, measurements and values describe about 20 week old plants of the new cultivar grown under outdoor conditions during the summer in Warmond, The Netherlands. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
