Abstract

A new and distinct Ivy Geranium plant named ‘Pacpolly’, characterized by its uniformly mounding, rounded and cascading plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; and dark orange semi-double flowers that are positioned above and beyond the foliar plane.

Description

Botanical designation: Pelargonium peltatum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘PACPOLLY’.
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 cultivar name ‘Pacpolly’.
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 attractive semi-double flowers.
The new Ivy Geranium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Dresden, Germany during the summer of 2010 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, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Ivy Geranium plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Dresden, Germany since December, 2011 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 ‘Pacpolly’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Pacpolly’ as a new and distinct Ivy Geranium plant:
    • 1. Uniformly mounding, rounded and cascading plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 4. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 5. Freely flowering habit.
    • 6. Dark orange semi-double flowers that are positioned above and beyond the foliar plane.
Plants of the new Ivy Geranium differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in plant habit as 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 ‘Pacapri’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,089. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Ivy Geranium differ from plants of ‘Pacapri’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium are more mounding than plants of ‘Pacapri’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium are not as vigorous as plants of ‘Pacapri’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium have more flowers per umbel than plants of ‘Pacapri’.
    • 4. Flowers of plants of the new Ivy Geranium have more petals than flowers of plants of ‘Pacapri’.
    • 5. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium and ‘Pacapri’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Pacapri’ have apricot-colored flowers.
    • 6. Plants of the new Ivy Geranium have shorter peduncles and pedicels than plants of ‘Pacapri’.
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 ‘Pacpolly’ 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 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 averaged 18° C., night temperatures averaged 16° C. and light levels ranged from 15 kilolux to 100 kilolux. Plants were pinched two times and were nine months old when the photograph and the detailed 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.
