Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Ivy Geranium plant named ‘Figradol Purple’, characterized by its outwardly spreading and trailing plant habit; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; single red purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium peltatum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Figradol Purple’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ivy Geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium peltatum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Figradol Purple’.
The new Ivy Geranium plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Saint Malo, France The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-branching and freely-flowering Ivy Geranium cultivars with large flowers and attractive foliage and flower coloration.
The new Ivy Geranium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Saint Malo, France of two unnamed selections of Pelargonium peltatum, not patented. The new Ivy Geranium was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Saint Malo, France.
Asexual reproduction of the new Ivy Geranium plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Lier, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Ivy Geranium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Ivy Geranium have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature 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 ‘Figradol Purple’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Figradol Purple’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Ivy Geranium:
    • 1. Outwardly spreading and trailing plant habit.
    • 2. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Single red purple-colored flowers.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Ivy Geranium differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in growth habit and plant habit as plants of the new Ivy Geranium are more vigorous in growth habit and more uniform in plant habit than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Ivy Geranium can be compared to plants of Pelargonium peltatum ‘Fisblipur’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,214. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Ivy Geranium differed from plants of ‘Fisblipur’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium had a more trailing plant habit than plants of ‘Fisblipur’.
    • 2. Flower petals of plants of the new Ivy Geranium were more rounded than flower petals of plants of ‘Fisblipur’.
Plants of the new Ivy Geranium can also be compared to plants of Pelargonium peltatum ‘Ville de Paris Lilac’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Ivy Geranium differed from plants of ‘Ville de Paris Lilac’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Leaves of plants of the new Ivy Geranium were darker in color than leaves of plants of ‘Ville de Paris Lilac’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium had larger flowers than plants of ‘Ville de Paris Lilac’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Ivy Geranium, 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 accurately describe the colors of the new Ivy Geranium.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Figradol Purple’ grown in a hanging basket container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Figradol Purple’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in De Lier, The Netherlands in a glass-covered greenhouse during the spring and under conditions which closely approximate commercial Ivy Geranium production.

Plants had been growing for 15 weeks 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.
