Abstract

A new and distinct zonal geranium plant with distinctive brilliant red-orange colored flowers above medium green foliage with strong zonation.

Description

Botanical classification: Pelargonium×hortorum (zonal geranium).
Varietal denomination: ‘Pacvica’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium known by the varietal name ‘Pacvica’. The new variety was discovered as a seedling in a selective breeding program in Dresden, Germany. The new variety is the result of a combination breeding of unnamed, unpatented selections from breeding group 8K-34. Plants of the new variety exhibit the flower color and zonation of their parents, but differ in their habit and branching. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Dresden, Germany in 1999. 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 drawings illustrate the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the plant; and
FIG. 2 is a photograph of a bud, flower, and leaf.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from plants propagated in January, potted in February, and grown in a greenhouse and then outdoors in June for data collection in Dresden, Germany. Plants were 9 months old when described. The color readings were taken on a plant under natural indoor light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
