Abstract

A new and distinct Ivy Geranium plant named ‘Pacpemary’, characterized by its uniformly mounded and cascading to trailing plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; and large dark red purple-colored semi-double flowers held above the foliar plane.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium peltatum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘PACPEMARY’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ivy Geranium plant, botanically known as Pelargonium peltatum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Pacpemary’.
The new Ivy Geranium plant 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 vigorous Ivy Geranium plants with uniform plant habit and numerous semi-double flowers.
The new Ivy Geranium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Dresden, Germany during the summer of 2007 of two unnamed proprietary selections of Pelargonium peltatum, not patented. The new Ivy Geranium plant 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 Dresden, Germany in June, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Ivy Geranium plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Dresden, Germany since December, 2008 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 combinations of 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 ‘Pacpemary’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Pacpemary’ as a new and distinct Ivy Geranium plant:
    • 1. Uniformly mounded and cascading to trailing plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Large dark red purple semi-double flowers held above the foliar plane.
Plants of the new Ivy Geranium differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower coloration. In addition, plants of the new Ivy Geranium are more uniform than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Ivy Geranium can be compared to plants of the Pelargonium peltatum ‘Pactommy’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,846. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dresden, Germany, plants of the new Ivy Geranium differed from plants of ‘Pactommy’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium were smaller than and not as vigorous as plants of ‘Pactommy’.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Ivy Geranium had fewer petals and petaloids than flowers of plants of ‘Pactommy’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium and ‘Pactommy’ differed slightly in flower color.
    • 4. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium had shorter peduncles than plants of ‘Pactommy’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Ivy Geranium plant 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 Ivy Geranium plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Pacpemary’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 19-cm containers during the summer and autumn in a glass-covered greenhouse in Dresden, Germany and under cultural practices typical of commercial Ivy Geranium production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 20° C., night temperatures averaged 18° C. and light levels ranged from 15 kilolux to 100 kilolux. Plants were pinched two times and were seven months old when the photograph was taken and nine months old when the detailed description was 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.
