Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium plant named ‘Pacabla’, characterized by its upright plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; and large dark red purple-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium×domesticum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Pacabla’.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application is co-pending with the following application: Geranium Plant Named ‘Pacapur’; Andrea Michalik, applicant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium plant, botanically known as Pelargonium×domesticum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Pacabla’.
The new Regal Geranium is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Dresden, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Regal Geraniums that did not require a cooling treatment for flower development.
The new Regal Geranium originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during 2001 of two proprietary selections of Pelargonium×domesticum, not patented. The cultivar Pacabla was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny from the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Dresden, Germany in 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Dresden, Germany since 2002 has shown that the unique features of this new Regal Geranium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Pacabla’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Pacabla’ as a new cultivar and distinguish it from other known Regal Geranium cultivars:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 4. Large dark red purple-colored flowers.
    • 5. Does not require cooling treatment for flower development.
Plants of the new Regal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower coloration.
Plants of the new Regal Geranium can be compared to plants of the cultivar Pacapur, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/077,419. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dresden, Germany, plants of the new Regal Geranium differed from plants of the cultivar Pacapur in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Regal Geranium had lighter green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Pacapur.
    • 2. Plants of the new Regal Geranium flowered earlier than plants of the cultivar Pacapur.
    • 3. Plants of the new Regal Geranium and the cultivar Pacapur differed in flower coloration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Flower and foliage colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Regal Geranium. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Pacabla’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants of the cultivar Pacabla have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment, such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The aforementioned photograph, following observations and averaged measurements describe plants grown during the spring in containers in Dresden, Germany, and under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 18° C., night temperatures about 16° C. and light levels less than 60,000 lux. Plants used for the photograph and the description were about five months old. 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.
