Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Geranium plant named ‘Ravpil’, characterized by its medium green leaf color; mounded and prostrate growth habit; and dark purple-colored flowers.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant, botanically known as Geranium cinereum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Ravpil.
The new Geranium was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Cheshire, United Kingdom, as a whole plant mutation of the Geranium cinereum cultivar Laurence Flatman, not patented, In June, 1989. Plants of the new Geranium have darker purple flowers than plants of the cultivar Laurence Flatman. Plants of the new Geranium typically have darker purple flowers than other Geraniums of this type known to the Inventor.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings harvested in Cheshire, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Geranium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Ravpil have not been observed under all possible environmental and cultural conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, irrigation amount and frequency, and/or fertilizer rate without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Ravpil’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ravpil’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Medium green leaf color.
2. Mounded and prostrate growth habit.
3. Dark purple-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Geranium, 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 on the first sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Ravpil’ grown in the field.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical plant of ‘Ravpil’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical open flower and a typical leaf of ‘Ravpil’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the following description were about 30 weeks old and grown in the field conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and summer in Cheshire, United Kingdom.
