Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of geranium plant named ‘Fip 750’ characterized by the combined features of brilliant, purple-violet flowers with white markings, semi-double flower type, dark-green foliage with weak zonation, relatively large umbels, compact, tight plant habit, and early to medium spring flowering response.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Pelarognium zonale L'Héritier.
Variety denomination: ‘Fip 750’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium zonale, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Fip 750’.
‘Fip 750’ is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new zonal geranium cultivars with violet to lavender flower color in combination with dark-green foliage.
‘Fip 750’ originated from a hybridization made by the inventor Angelika Utecht in a controlled breeding program in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain, in 1995.
The female parent was an unpatented hybrid seedling, No. 92-876-2, having purple, single-type flowers with orange markings, large umbels, dark-green, distinctly zoned foliage, and medium to vigorous growth habit. The male parent of ‘Fip 750 ’ was a self-seedling of the commercial, unpatented variety ‘Novave’. This seedling was characterized by dark-rose to purple, semi-double flowers, large, medium-green leaves with distinct zonation, and medium sized plant habit, while variety ‘Novave’ has a lighter purple-pink tone of flower and somewhat less distinct zonation.
‘Fip 750’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Angelika Utecht in 1996 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain. The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Fip 750’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in the fall of 1996 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain, by, or under the supervision of, Angelika Utecht.
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in May 1999 in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Fip 750’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
‘Fip 750’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.
The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Germany, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Fip 750’ in combination distinguish this geranium as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Brilliant purple-violet flowers with white markings;
2. relatively large inflorescences, well above the foliage;
3. dark green foliage with weak zonation;
4. compact and very well branched plant habit; and
5. early to medium spring flowering response.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Fip 750’ is the related variety ‘Novave’ (unpatented). In comparison to ‘Novave’, ‘Fip 750’ has a deeper shade of flower color, and dark-green, instead of medium-green, leaves.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Fip 750’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type. The drawing depicts a side elevational view of a typcial flowering potted plant of ‘Fip 750’.
The measurements were taken in Hillscheid, Germany, in mid May 2002, 10 weeks after planting of rooted cuttings. The plants were growing in 14 cm plastic pots, they had not been pinched. In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined indoors from flowers developed in a green-house in May 2002 in Hillscheid, Germany.
