Abstract

A new and distinct zonal geranium plant characterized by dark foliage and bright red flowers with oval petals.

Description

VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Pacsam’.
CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×hortorum (zonal geranium).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of zonal geranium known by the varietal name ‘Pacsam’. The new variety was discovered in Dresden, Germany as the result of in vitro mutation breeding of the unpatented variety ‘PAC Somelia’. The new variety exhibits the dark foliage and branching of its parent, but differs in its growth vigor, flower color and flower size. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Dresden, Germany in 2000. 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 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 via cuttings carried out in Dresden, Germany. Plants described were about 9 months old. The color readings were taken indoors on plants grown in pots in greenhouses during Summer. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
