Abstract

A new and distinct very early flowering geranium plant with distinctive cranberry red colored flowers above medium green foliage.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×hortorum (zonal geranium).
VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Patriot Cranberry Red’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name ‘Patriot Cranberry Red’. The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Lompoc, Calif. as Breeder No. 6DG2815-1. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of ‘Americana Dark Red’ (female) (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,307) and ‘BFP-838 Dark Red’ (male) (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,544). The new variety exhibits similar plant type to both parents and a flower color with more blue pigment than the parents' flower colors. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Connellsville and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using natural light and temperatures of 60° F. night and 68° F. day, has a response time of 8 weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 6 inch pot. The response time was determined on plants grown in soilless media employing constant fertilizer 200-250 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
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 by Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. Plants described were about 8 weeks from a rooted cutting. The color readings were taken on a plant under 65-85 foot candles of fluorescent cool white light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

Toward the base, the color shades to a softer orange of 43C and white 155B at the very base. Dark veining of 53B is prominent against the orange. Lower petals are 57A with highlights of 50A closer to base, fading to 50B and then to white 155B at the very base. Lower surface: Upper petals at 46C and 46D. The lower petals are 57B with highlights of 47B and 47C. Dark veining of 46B shows through. Shape: Oval to heart shaped. Size: 2.9-3.2 cm long; 2.4-3.6 cm wide. Apex: Rounded. Base: Pointed. Margin: Entire. Number per flower: 7-10. Texture and appearance: Velvety, smooth, highly reflective.
