Abstract

A new and distinct zonal geranium plant with intense purple colored flowers above medium green foliage. The plant flower is suitable for pot planting and as a bedding plant.

Description

Botanical classification: Pelargonium×hortorum.
Varietal denomination: ‘Penlava’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name ‘Penlava’. The new variety was discovered in 1994 in a selective breeding program in Dresden, Germany. The new variety is the result of the crossing of dark leafed breeding varieties. The exact parents are unknown. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Dresden, Germany in 1995. 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 drawings illustrate the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type;
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the entire plant; and
FIG. 2 is a close-up of the flowers of the new variety.
 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 carried out in Dresden, Germany. Plants were grown in greenhouse conditions and were nine months old when described. The color readings were taken outdoors in shadow during summer. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
