Abstract
‘MACGER001’ is a new and distinctive variety of Geranium hybrid plant which is characterized by dark greyed-green foliage that is suffused with bronze and vibrant red-purple flowers with very dark purple venation and floral eye. The new variety propagates successfully by stem cuttings and tissue culture and has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is Geranium pratense x Geranium psilostemon.
Variety denomination: The inventive variety of Geranium hybrid disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘MACGER001’.
This application is related to the Community Plant Variety Rights application number 2020/0533, filed Feb. 18, 2020, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Parentage: ‘MACGER001’ is the result of a controlled cross-pollination breeding program carried out by the inventors at their commercial nursery in Kirkcudbright, Scotland, in the summer of 2015. The inventors performed a controlled cross-pollination of the emasculated seed parent, an unnamed Geranium pratense plant (unpatented), with an unnamed Geranium psilostemon plant (unpatented), the pollen parent. Said pollination was performed in an insect proof environment. Seed from said cross was harvested, then germinated, and the resulting seedlings were then grown to a mature size in a protected poly tunnel greenhouse. In October of 2015, the inventors selected the new Geranium cultivar for its unique flower color and dark foliage. This new and distinctive cultivar was given the name ‘MACGER001’.
Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of ‘MACGER001’ was first accomplished in October of 2015 by way of vegetative division and subsequently by way of meristematic tissue culture micro propagation at a laboratory in Rijswijk, the Netherlands. Four successive generations have shown that the unique features of the instant cultivar are stable and reproduce true to type.
The cultivar ‘MACGER001’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the instant environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Geranium cultivar, ‘MACGER001’.
-
- 1. Geranium ‘MACGER001’ exhibits dark greyed-green foliage that is suffused with a dark bronze coloration; and
- 2. Geranium ‘MACGER001’ exhibits foliage that is margined greyed-purple; and
- 3. Geranium ‘MACGER001’ exhibits vibrant red-purple flowers with very dark purple veins radiating outward from a very dark purple floral eye.
The following is a detailed botanical description of a new and distinct variety of Geranium plant known as ‘MACGER001’, based upon observations of 12-month-old plants grown outdoors in Kirkcudbright, Scotland. Plants were grown with full sun to partial shade exposure and subsisted on natural rainfall with supplemental irrigation provided during periods of dry weather. Plants were grown in a nutrient-rich compost but were otherwise not given any supplemental fertilizer. No chemical pest treatments were given to the plants. Observation data was recorded in May of 2021.
A botanical description of ‘MACGER001’ and comparisons with the parents and most similar variety of common knowledge are provided below.
