Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Zonal Geranium plant named ‘Oglger7049’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; and bright red purple-colored flowers held above and beyond the foliar plane on strong peduncles.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium×hortorum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘OGLGER7049’.
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 ‘Oglger7049’.
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 moderately vigorous Zonal Geranium plants with attractive flowers.
The new Zonal Geranium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in April, 2006 in Lompoc, Calif. of Pelargonium×hortorum ‘Pacfox’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,374, as the female, or seed, parent with Pelargonium×hortorum ‘Fistangoli’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,274, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Zonal Geranium plant 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 Lompoc, Calif. in May, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Zonal Geranium plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lompoc, Calif. since September, 2007 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 and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Oglger7049’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Oglger7049’ as a new and distinct Zonal Geranium plant:
    • 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Bright red purple-colored flowers held above and beyond the foliar plane on strong peduncles.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘Pacfox’, in flower color as plants of the new Zonal Geranium have brighter red purple-colored flowers than plants of ‘Pacfox’.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘Fistangoli’, in flower color as plants of ‘Fistangoli’ have bright purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Zonal Geranium can be compared to plants of Pelargonium×hortorum ‘Oglger4090’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,044. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Zonal Geranium differed primarily from plants of ‘Oglger4090’ in flower color as plants of the new Zonal Geranium had brighter and darker red purple-colored flowers than plants of ‘Oglger4090’.
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 ‘Oglger7049’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Oglger7049’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the winter and early spring in 16.5-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Encinitas, Calif. and under cultural conditions which closely approximate Zonal Geranium commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 24° C., night temperatures averaged 16° C. and light levels averaged 4,000 foot-candles. Plants were 17 weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
