Abstract
A new and distinct early flowering geranium plant with showy pink colored flowers with a distinctive eye above medium green foliage.
Description
Pelargonium×domesticum (regal pelargonium).
‘Elegance Pink Chiffon’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×domesticum known by the varietal name ‘Elegance Pink Chiffon’. The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Lompoc, Calif. as Breeder No. 7DG4548-41. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of an unnamed, unpatented seedling (Breeder No. White 1994-6, female) and ‘Erin’ (male, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,021). The new variety exhibits similar plant type to both parents and flower color is intermediate to both parents. 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 6 inch pot. The response time was determined on plants grown in soilless media employing constant fertilizer 150-200 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light.
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
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 20 weeks from an unrooted 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.
