Abstract

A geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by dark green foliage, red flower color, and semi-double flowers on large umbels, fast rooting and exhibits vigorous growth.

Description

GENUS AND SPECIES
Pelargonium hortorum.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Clips Red II’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium hortorum Bailey, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Clips Red II’. The new cultivar is propagated from a seedling resulting from the cross of an unnamed and unpatented proprietary line known as 7108-1 which is a red single flowered geranium and an unnamed and unpatented proprietary line known as 6087-4 which is a red semi-double geranium flower.
‘Clips Red II ’is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new geranium cultivars with red colored flowers, semi-double flower form, dark green foliage, vigorous growth and superior cutting productivity.
The new cultivar was created in 1997 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Gilroy, Calif. and Guatemala over a three year period. It has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif. and Andijk, The Netherlands. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
This new geranium plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 shows overall plant habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Clips Red II’. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Gilroy, Calif. The plant history was taken on five month old plants grown in 8 inch pots, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color reading were taken in the greenhouse in Gilroy, Calif. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.).
