Abstract

A new Pelargonium plant particularly distinguished by cerise, pink flower color and strong zonation, is disclosed.

Description

Genus and species: Pelargonium zonale.
Variety denomination: ‘KLEPZ24880’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of Pelargonium, botanically known as Pelargonium zonale and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘KLEPZ24880’. ‘KLEPZ24880’ originated from a controlled cross in July 2019 in Juja, Kenya between the commercial female Pelargonium variety ‘KLEPZ17484’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,335) and the proprietary male Pelargonium variety ‘PZ-2017-7370’ (unpatented).
Seeds from the controlled cross were obtained. The seeds were sown and plants were grown for evaluation. A single plant was selected in June 2020 and subsequently named ‘KLEPZ24880’. In July 2020 ‘KLEPZ24880’ was first vegetatively propagated by vegetative stem cuttings in Stuttgart, Germany. ‘KLEPZ24880’ was found to reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation via stem cuttings in Stuttgart, Germany.
SUMMARY
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Stuttgart, Germany.
    • 1. Cerise pink flower color; and
    • 2. Strong zonation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Pelargonium plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows an overall view of the plant in a pot. The photograph is of an approximately 14-week-old plant grown indoors in Stuttgart, Germany, in May 2023. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
