Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Fuchsia plant named ‘Goetzpeg’, characterized by its upright, somewhat outwardly spreading and compact plant habit, freely branching habit; dense and full plant grown habit; and numerous light red and light pink-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Fuchsia×hybrida cultivar Goetzpeg.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Fuchsia plant, botanically known as Fuchsia×hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Goetzpeg’.
The new Fuchsia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hebrechtingen, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Fuchsia cultivars with compact plant habit and numerous attractive flowers.
The new Fuchsia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor of a proprietary selection Fuchsia×hybrida identified as code number 104/98, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection Fuchsia×hybrida identified as code number 327/97, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Goetzpeg was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Hebrechtingen, Germany, during the summer of 1997.
Asexual reproduction of the new Fuchsia by terminal cuttings taken at Hebrechtingen, Germany has shown that the unique features of this new Fuchsia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Goetzpeg has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and daylength, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Goetzpeg’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Goetzpeg’ as a new and distinct Fuchsia cultivar:
1. Upright, somewhat outwardly spreading and compact plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant growth habit.
3. Numerous light red and light pink-colored flowers.
Sepal color of plants of the new Fuchsia is more intense than sepal color of plants of the female parent. In addition, plants of the new Fuchsia flower earlier than plants of the female parent. Plants of the new Fuchsia are more freely flowering than plants of the male parent.
Plants of the new Fuchsia can be compared to the cultivar Goetzlucy, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/385,251, filed concurrently. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Hebrechtingen, Germany, plants of the new Fuchsia were more upright than plants of the cultivar Goetzlucy and differed in flower coloration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Fuchsia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the colors of the new Fuchsia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of three typical flowering plants of ‘Geotzpeg’ grown in a 15-cm container.
The photograph at the bottom sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers, flower buds and leaves of ‘Goetzpeg’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., under commercial practice during the winter in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse with day temperatures ranging from 18 to 35° C., night temperatures ranging from 7 to 18° C., and light levels about 5,000 to 7,000 foot-candles. Three rooted cuttings were planted per 15-cm container and plants were grown for about nine weeks. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
