Abstract
A new and distinct variety of geranium plant particularly distinguished by the light violet color of its florets which becomes white at the center, by the very large size of its flower clusters, each of which contains about seventy well-formed florets, each floret being about 4.5 cm. in diameter and having from five to six petals; also by its abundant, dark green leaves which have no zonation and extend about 19 cm. above the soil; and by its upright, bushy growth habit, having a total height of about 30 cm.
Description
My new geranium variety was originated at my nursery in Stuttgart, West Germany, in 1984, the new plant being a seedling selected from plants produced by a hybrid resulting from my crossing of the variety `PAC-532` with the pollen parent `PAC-614`, my object being to produce a light pink, early and double blooming variety. The new plant was selected for propagation because of its most nearly meeting my breeding objective and the selected plant was asexually reproduced under my direction at Stuttgart by means of cuttings. Propagation of this plant was carried on through several succesive generations, which demonstrated conclusively that the distinctive characteristics of this new variety remain true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed. At present, propagation is being done at Stuttgart by means of cuttings.
My new geranium variety is illustrated by the accompanying full color photographic print, which shows the form and color of the individual florets which comprise a full cluster, the color rendition being as nearly true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my geranium variety from observations made at Stuttgart during the Spring of 1988, the color designations being according to the The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
