Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium plant named ‘Regli’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; large pink and purple-colored flowers; and no requirement for cooling treatment for flower development.
Description
Botanical designation: Pelargonium grandiflorum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Regli’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium grandiflorum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Regli’.
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 is to develop new Regal Geraniums that do not require a cooling treatment for flower development.
The new Regal Geranium is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Pelargonium grandiflorum cultivar Regros, not patented. The cultivar Regli was discovered and selected by the Inventor on a single plant of the parent cultivar in a controlled environment in Dresden, Germany during the summer of 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Regal Geranium by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Dresden, Germany since the summer of 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Regal Geranium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Regli has 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 ‘Regli’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Regli’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Regal Geranium:
-
- 1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely basal branching habit.
- 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Large pink and purple-colored flowers.
- 6. Does not require cooling treatment for flower development.
Plants of the new Regal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the parent, the cultivar Regros, primarily in flower color as plants of the cultivar Regros have light red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Regal Geranium can be compared to plants of the Pelargonium grandiflorum cultivar Pacali, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,755. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dresden, Germany, plants of the new Regal Geranium differed from plants of the cultivar Pacali in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Regal Geranium were broader than plants of the cultivar Pacali.
- 2. Plants of the new Regal Geranium had shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Pacali.
- 3. Plants of the new Regal Geranium had larger flower umbels with more flowers per umbel than plants of the cultivar Pacali.
- 4. Plants of the new Regal Geranium and the cultivar Pacali differed in flower color.
- 5. Plants of the new Regal Geranium had longer peduncles than plants of the cultivar Pacali.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Regal 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 Regal Geranium. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Regli’ grown in a container.
The aforementio ned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Dresden, Germany in a glass-covered greenhouse during the winter and spring and under conditions which closely approximate commercial Geranium production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 18° C., night temperatures averaged 16° C. and light levels ranged from 15 kilolux to 100 kilolux. Plants were about six months old when the photograph and the description were taken. In the detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
