Abstract

A new and distinct ivy geranium plant with ruby red and white bicolored flowers above medium green foliage.

Description

Botanical classification: Pelargonium×peltatum (ivy geranium).
Varietal denomination: ‘Global Red Peppermint’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×peltatum known by the varietal name ‘Global Red Peppermint’, Breeder No. GRUxPC. The new variety was discovered in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of ‘Global Ruby Red’ (female) (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,600) and ‘Peppermint Candy’ (male) (unpatented). The new variety exhibits similar flower color to ‘Peppermint Candy’. The new variety has a growth habit similar to ‘Global Ruby Red’ which is more compact than that of ‘Peppermint Candy’. The new variety differs from ‘Global Ruby Red’ primarily in flower color. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been field trialed and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The new variety when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using full light, 55° F. night temperature and 72° F. day temperature and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer at 200-250 ppm nitrogen and potassium has a response time of ten weeks from a rooted cutting to flower in a 6 inch pot.
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 taken on a plant 10 weeks old from a rooted cutting. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out at Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The color readings were taken on May 22, 2002 indoors under 65-85 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

Color: Upper surface: Color and streaking pattern is unique to each petal; some petals are solid red, while others are nearly solid white with only a thin edge of color lining each petal. Most petals have an edging of ruby red that fades to different degrees of red and is streaked with white toward the center and base of the petal. Because of the variations in the streaking, the petals present a variety of red tones; color ranges from deep burgundy, dark red, to lighter ruby red.
