Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Zonal Geranium plant named ‘Oglger9247’, characterized by its compact, upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; dark green-colored leaves; white-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium×hortorum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘OGLGER9247’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Zonal Geranium plant, botanically known as Pelargonium×hortorum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Oglger9247’.
The new Zonal Geranium plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lompoc, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Zonal Geranium cultivars with attractive and unique flower coloration.
The new Zonal Geranium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in April, 2000 in Lompoc, Calif. of Pelargonium×hortorum ‘North Star’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,971, as the female, or seed, parent with Pelargonium×hortorum ‘Lotus’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Zonal Geranium was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Connellsville, Pa. in March, 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new Zonal Geranium plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Connellsville, Pa. since March, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Zonal Geranium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Zonal 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 ‘Oglger9247’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Oglger9247’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Zonal Geranium:
    • 1. Compact, upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 5. Bright cherry rose-colored flowers.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘North Star’, in growth habit as plants of the new Zonal Geranium are more compact than plants of ‘North Star’.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘Lotus’, in flowering habit as plants of the new Zonal Geranium flower earlier and more freely than plants of ‘Lotus’.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium can be compared to plants of Pelargonium×hortorum ‘Fistablanc’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,186. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Zonal Geranium differed primarily from plants of ‘Fistablanc’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Zonal Geranium were not as compact as plants of ‘Fistablanc’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Zonal Geranium flowered earlier than plants of ‘Fistablanc’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Zonal Geranium plant, 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 Zonal Geranium plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Oglger9247’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Oglger9247’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif. in a plastic-covered greenhouse during the spring and under conditions which closely approximate Zonal Geranium commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 24° C., night temperatures averaged 19° C. and light levels averaged 4,000 foot-candles. 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.
