Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of geranium plant named ‘Fislet’, as described and illustrated, and particularly characterized by the combined features of bright orange-red, semi-double flowers, large umbels and strong peduncles, medium green foliage with strong zonation, vigorous growth, and relatively tall, uniform plant habit.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium zonale, and hereinafer referred to by the cultivar name ‘Fislet’.
‘Fislet’ is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new geranium varieties with red flower color and vigorous growth for outdoor planting/landscaping. ‘Fislet’ originated from a hybridization made by the inventor Angelika Utecht in a controlled breeding program in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain, in 1994.
The female parent was a hybrid seedling, no. 2061-15 (unpatented), having red, semi-double flowers, medium-green foliage with strong zonation and tall plant habit. The male parent of ‘Fislet’ was a hybrid seedling, no. 1262-8 (unpatented), which was characterized by red single-type flowers, dark-green foliage, and relatively compact habit.
‘Fislet’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Angelika Utecht in 1995 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain.
The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Fislet’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in the fall of 1995 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain, by, or under the supervision of, Angelika Utecht.
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in May 1997 in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Fislet’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
‘Fislet’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.
The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Germany, and in Langley, British Columbia, Canada, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Fislet’ in combination distinguish this geranium as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Bright orange-red, semi-double flowers;
2. Large umbels borne high above the foliage;
3. Medium green foliage with strong zonation;
4. Vigorous growth, and relatively tall, but well-branched plant habit;
5. Medium (mid season) spring flowering response; and
6. Relatively rich flowering throughout the summer.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Fislet’ is the variety ‘Fisgrand’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,760. In comparison to ‘Fisgrand’, ‘Fislet’ has a slightly more intense flower color, taller plant habit, and higher flower production during the summer.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Fislet’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type. The measurements were taken in Langley, British Columbia, Canada on Jul. 20, 2000, 15 weeks after planting of rooted cuttings into 6 inch pots. The plants had not been pinched.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). The color values were determined indoors from plants developed in a green-house in May 2000 in Hillscheid, Germany.
