Abstract
A new geranium cultivar is characterized by its brilliant color and a short and compact plant. A short flower stem positions the flower immediately atop of the foliage and renders the plant very resistant to wind and rain damage. The pink coloring is accentuated by a red blotch in the throat and a white eye in the center of the floret.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium hortorum, Bailey known by the varietal name Danielle. The new variety was discovered in the spring of 1985 as a sport of the cultivar Veronica, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,054.
The new cultivar was discovered by Daniel T. Busch at Busch Greenhouses, Inc. in Denver, Colo., was sexually reproduced by cuttings at Busch Greenhouses, Inc., and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Associates, Inc. in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations. The new cultivar differs from the cultivar Veronica by its brilliant pink coloring and prolific flowering.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using natural light, 60° F. day temperature and 71° F. vent temperature and grown in a soilless media having constant fertilization at 275 parts per million nitrogen and potassium under normal day and full sunlight conditions, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in a 10 cm pot of six weeks.
The sole photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the characteristics of the cultivar. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee Associates, Inc. in Connellsville, Pa. The plant history was taken on six week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken indoors under 200 foot candles of cool, white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

The new cultivar is characterized by its brilliant color and a short and compact plant. There is more basal branching, close internodes, and smaller leaves as compared with standard bush zonal geraniums produced in the United States. A short flower stem positions the flower immediately atop of the foliage into plants and renders the plant very resistant to wind and rain damage. The brilliant pink coloring is accentuated by the red blotch in the throat and the white eye in the center of the floret.
