Abstract
A new and distinct zonal geranium plant with bright pink colored flowers having some streaking above medium green foliage. The new cultivar has a more controlled growth habit and brighter colored flowers than ‘Pink Expectations’.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name ‘PACPAL’ (Oglevee No. 5254, Breeder No. P-3364). The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Dresden, Germany. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Olglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Connellsville and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using natural light and temperatures of 60° F. night and 68° F. day, has a response time of six weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 4 inch pot. The response time was determined on plants grown in soilless media employing constant fertilizer 200-250 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light.
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The color readings were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of fluorescent cool white light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

Petals.—Color: Upper Surface: Outer-top edge of petals is Red Group 56 A. Depending on the petal, there are varying amounts of faint streaks of Red Group 52C; on some petals this streaking is barely visible and the outer-top edge of the petal appears to be solely Red Group 56A. On other petals the streaks are so significant as to lend a bright pink color to the outer-top area creating a much more significant appearance of the Red Group 52C.

‘PACPAL’ was selected as a replacement for the currrent variety of ‘Pink Expectations’ for its ability to withstand the climate of the southern United States. It performs euqally well in the northern climates also. ‘PACPAL’ has a more controlled growth habit where ‘Pink Expectations’ could become stretched and floppy. Rooting speed is similar to ‘Pink Expectations’ at 14 to 21 days. Flower color of ‘PACPAL’ is brighter than ‘Pink Expectations’.
