Abstract

A new geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by the large size and deep red color of its flower clusters, each containing about sixty-five flowers in loose formation which stand on stems about 15 cm. long, its profuse and continuous blooming habit, and its abundance of medium size leaves which have clearly visible dark zonation, providing a foliage body extending about 15 cm. above the soil.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new pelargonium variety originated as a sport of the variety `PAC Isabell` (unpatented) grown in my nursery at Stuttgart, West Germany, this plant having darker leaves than those of the parent so that the color of the blooms appears to be a more intensive red. This sport, discovered in 1986, was propagated through several generations by means of cuttings, under my direction at Stuttgart, which demonstrated that the unique characteristics of this plant would hold true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed. Propagation of this new plant, by cuttings, on a commercial scale is now being done at Stuttgart.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new geranium cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying drawing, which shows the general characteristics of the new variety grown as a potted plant, the drawing being a photographic print with color reproduction as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional commercial photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following is a detailed description of this new variety of geranium plant as grown at Stuttgart, West Germany, and observed in the early Spring of 1988, with color designations according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
