Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Zonal Geranium plant named ‘Dueimlyk’, characterized by its compact and upright to outwardly spreading plant habit; freely basal branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; semi-double red purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium×hortorum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Dueimlyk’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Zonal Geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium×hortorum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Dueimlyk’.
The new Zonal Geranium is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new uniform Zonal Geranium cultivars with numerous and attractive flowers.
The new Zonal Geranium originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in August, 2002 in Rheinberg, Germany of a proprietary selection of Pelargonium×hortorum identified as code number F-13-08, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Pelargonium×hortorum identified as code number E01-26, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Dueimlyk was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany in May, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Zonal Geranium by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany since July, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Zonal Geranium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Dueimlyk has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, daylength and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Dueimlyk’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dueimlyk’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Zonal Geranium:
    • 1. Compact and upright to outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Semi-double red purple-colored flowers.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have cherry red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have deeper red purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium can be compared to plants of the Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar Duevalent, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,201. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new Zonal Geranium differed from plants of the cultivar Duevalent in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Zonal Geranium were more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Duevalent.
    • 2. Plants of the new Zonal Geranium had larger leaves and longer petioles than plants of the cultivar Duevalent.
    • 3. Plants of the new Zonal Geranium had fewer flowers per umbel than plants of the cultivar Duevalent.
    • 4. Plants of the new Zonal Geranium and cultivar Duevalent differed slightly in flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Zonal Geranium, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. 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 Zonal Geranium. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Dueimlyk’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Rheinberg, Germany in a glass-covered greenhouse during the summer and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 18° C. and light levels averaged 4,500 lux. Plants were about two months from planting when the photographs and the description were taken. In the detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
