Abstract

A new and distinct pelargonium plant with star-like, red colored flowers above medium green foliage. The plant is suitable for planting in pots or as a bedding plant.

Description

BOTANICAL/COMMERCIAL CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×hortorum; Zonal Geranium.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Fiwosal’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name ‘Fiwosal’. The new variety was discovered in 1996 in a selective breeding program in Dresden, Germany. The new variety is the result of a cross between two unnamed and unpatented selections from breeding group 5K-49, which comprises about 50 steller-type breeding varieties with salmon colored flowers. The new variety has a compact habit whereas its parental cultivars have an irregular habit. The new variety has narrow upper petals but its parental cultivars have wide upper petals. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Dresden, Germany in 1997. The new variety has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
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 in Dresden, Germany. The color readings were taken outdoors in diffuse light during summer. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London. The instant cultivar was 9 months old and in a container having a diameter of 15 cm when described.
