Abstract

A new and distinct geranium plant with a compact habit and white colored flowers having a star-like appearance.

Description

Varietal denomination: ‘Fiwowit’.
Classification: Pelargonium×hortorum (zonal geranium).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium known by the varietal name ‘Fiwowit’. The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program in Dresden, Germany. The new variety is the result of a combination breeding of unnamed, unpatented selections from the breeding group 6K-80/1. The new variety exhibits the flower color of its heritage, but differs in its compact habit and branching. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Dresden, Germany in 1997. 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. The color readings were taken on plants grown in 11 cm pots in greenhouses during summer. Plants for the description were nine-months old. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
