Abstract

A new and distinct early flowering zonal geranium plant with deep red colored flowers above dark green foliage and having excellent outdoor heat tolerance.

Description

Botanical classification: Pelargonium×hortorum (zonal geranium).
Varietal denomination: ‘Candy Cardinal’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name ‘Candy Cardinal’. The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Lompoc, Calif. as Breeder No. 5DG2259-1. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of an unnamed, unpatented plant (breeder no. 1263, female) and ‘Sassy Dark Red’ (male, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,053). The new variety exhibits similar flower color to the male parent and similar dark leaf color to the female parent. The new variety differs from its parents in that the female parent has a more bluish flower color and the male parent has a lighter green foliage color. 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 were about 12 weeks old when described. 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.
