Description

Botanical designation: Geranium sanguineum X Geranium himalayense.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Dogergargemam’.
STATEMENT REGARDING PRIOR DISCLOSURES BY INVENTOR & APPLICANT/ASSIGNEE
An European Community Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Applicant/Assignee, Dümmen Group B.V. of De Lier, The Netherlands on Oct. 30, 2019, application number 2019/2745. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.
The Inventor and Applicant/Assignee assert that no publications nor advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor and/or Applicant/Assignee. Inventor and Applicant/Assignee claim a prior art exemption under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant, botanically known as Geranium sanguineum X Geranium himalayense and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Dogergargemam’.
The new Geranium plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Geranium plants with numerous attractive flowers.
The new Geranium plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in June, 2015 in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands of Geranium sanguineum ‘Striatum’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Geranium himalayense ‘Johnson's Blue’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Geranium plant was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in June, 2016.
Asexual reproduction of the new Geranium plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands since March, 2017, has shown that the unique features of this new Geranium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new 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 ‘Dogergargemam’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dogergargemam’ as a new and distinct Geranium plant:
    • 1. Low-growing and outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Upward-facing purple violet-colored flowers with glossy dark purple-colored venation and small white-colored centers.
    • 6. Long and continuous flowering period.
    • 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Geranium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, ‘Striatum’ in flower color as plants of the new Geranium have purple violet-colored flowers with glossy dark purple-colored venation whereas flowers of plants of ‘Striatum’ are light pink in color with darker pink-colored venation.
Plants of the new Geranium differ primarily from plants of the male parent, ‘Johnson's Blue’ in flower color as plants of the new Geranium have purple violet-colored flowers with glossy dark purple-colored venation whereas flowers of plants of ‘Johnson's Blue’ are light blue in color with pink-colored venation.
Plants of the new Geranium can be compared to plants of Geranium sanguineum ‘Max Frei’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Geranium differ primarily from plants of ‘Max Frei’ in flower color as plants of the new Geranium have purple violet-colored flowers with glossy dark purple-colored venation whereas flowers of plants of ‘Max Frei’ are pink in color with darker pink-colored venation.
Plants of the new Geranium can also be compared to plants of Geranium himalayense ‘Gravetye’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Geranium differ primarily from plants of ‘Gravetye’ in flower color as plants of the new Geranium have purple violet-colored flowers with glossy dark purple-colored venation whereas flowers of plants of ‘Gravetye’ are blue in color with purple-colored venation.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new 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 Geranium plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a top perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Dogergargemam’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Dogergargemam’ (top of sheet) and a typical leaf of ‘Dogergargemam’ (bottom of sheet).
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer and autumn in ground beds in an outdoor nursery in De Kwakel, The Netherlands.
