Abstract

A Geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by medium green foliage with light zonation, semi-double, dark red flowers with a white bi-color patterning on large umbels, fast rooting and vigorous growth.

Description

Genus and species: Pelargonium peltatum.
Variety denomination: ‘Free Arcred’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium peltatum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Free Arcred’. The new cultivar is selected from a cross of 5651-2 a unpatented proprietary line×5146-1 a unpatented proprietary line.
‘Free Arcred’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new Geranium cultivars with bi-colored dark red and white, semi-double flower form, green foliage, vigorous growth and superior cutting productivity.
The new cultivar was created in 2001 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Gilroy, Calif., Guatemala and Kenya over a two-year period. It has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif., Litchfield, Mich. and Andijk, The Netherlands. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
This new Geranium plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The photograph shows an overall plant habit; inset shows an upclose view of flowers.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Free Arcred’. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Gilroy, Calif. The plant history was taken on 6 month old plants blossomed in one-gallon pots in the fall/winter season, in poly-covered greenhouse under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken in the greenhouse in Gilroy, Calif. under natural light. Plants had been cut back numerous times prior to data readings taken. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.). Texture description details were observed under a dissecting microscope.
