Abstract

A new and distinct free flowering ivy geranium plant with distinctive bright lilac colored flowers with striking dark orchid eye above medium green foliage. The new variety exhibits superior heat tolerance over other ivy geranium varieties known to the inventor.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×peltatum (ivy geranium).
VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Global Deep Lilac’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×peltatum known by the varietal name ‘Global Deep Lilac’. The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Lompoc, Calif. as Breeder No. 5DG1683-2. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of ‘Butterfly’ (female, unpatented) and ‘Cindy’ (male, unpatented). The new variety exhibits a similar flower type to ‘Cindy’ and a similar flower color to ‘Butterfly’ yet with much better heat tolerance than either parent. 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 12 weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 10 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. Three cuttings planted in a pot and pinched at four weeks produce a finished hanging basket.
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 65-75 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.
