Abstract
Geranium ‘Lulumex’ is a new and distinct cultivar of geranium plant, particularly characterized by the combined features of bicolored, red-purple and white flower color, floriferous with large inflorescence, intense green foliage with distinct zonation, and moderately compact, well-branched and round plant habit.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium botanically known as Pelargonium peltatum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Lulumex’.
‘Lulumex’ is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new ivy geranium varieties with variegated flowers with pink, red or purple main flower.
‘Lulumex’ originated from a grafting hybrid derived by grafting cuttings of ‘Fislulu’ on rootstocks of ‘Mexicana’ (Rouletta), in order to transmit the characteristic of variegation of flower color. The variegation causing agent is supposed to be a beneficial, virus-like organism.
‘Fislulu’ is a commercial ivy geranium variety, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,228, having deep purple double flowers, medium green, zoned foliage, and relatively compact, well-branched plant habit.
‘Mexicana’, synonym ‘Rouletta’, is an unpatented variety characterized by bicolored flowers with cherry-red bordered petals and white center, medium green foliage with zonation, and tall, open, long trailing plant habit.
Shoot tip cuttings of ‘Fislulu’ were grafted on branches of a potted plant of ‘Mexicana’ in a green-house in Hillscheid, Germany, in winter 1996/97 by the inventor Angelika Utecht. In April/May 1997 recently grown shoot tips from the successful graftings were cut, rooted and grown out.
Plants grown from cuttings of these plants were examined in Hillscheid in early spring 1998, and proved to develop variegated flowers only, which was confirmed during the common spring trial cultivation starting in May 1998.
In contrast to earlier experiments with grafting, the degree of variegation proved to be very uniform and the size of the white area of the petal was only temporarily reduced after the plants had grown rapidly under high temperature and high light intensity in spring.
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the clone initiated in spring 1998 in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Lulumex’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Lulumex’ with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined indoors from plants developed in a greenhouse in May 1999 in Hillscheid, Germany.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic charactertics of ‘Lulumex’, which in combination distinguish this geranium as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Brilliant red-purple main flower color, and petals with a white center;
2. Semi-spherically shaped, relatively large inflorescence;
3. Medium green foliage with weak zonation;
4. Short to medium sized plant habit, very well-branched, round plant habit; and
5. Early to medium flowering response.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Lulumex’ are the related varieties ‘Fislulu’ and ‘Mexicana’.
In comparison to ‘Fislulu’, ‘Lulumex’ has variegated flowers with large white ‘eyes’ on petals and with a slightly different, brighter main flower color, that is, color of the margin of the petal. The morphological characteristics of ‘Lulumex’ are fairly close to those of ‘Fislulu’, apart from the even more freely branching.
In comparison to ‘Mexicana’, ‘Lulumex’ has a more intense main flower color, rounder florets, much more compact plant habit, and a distinctly higher number of branches.
‘Lulumex’ 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 12 week old plants grown in Hillscheid, Germany, and in Langley, Bristish Columbia, Canada, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The measurements were taken in Langley, Canada, on Jun. 15, 1999,—12 weeks after planting of rooted cuttings into 15 cm pots.
