Abstract

A new geranium having a plant habit which is fuller, resulting in higher cutting production. The plant form is much more compact than the current market varieties which produces the fuller plant. The single salmon-coral florets accent the medium green foliage. This variety has been garden tested and found to be much more heat tolerant and self-cleaning than those ivies currently sold.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium × peltalum known by the varietal name Gigi (Oglevee Ltd. U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,036, French No. 555 Guisully). The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program by Messrs. Jacques, Maurice and Bernard Guillou. The new variety is a selection from a crossing of Cocorico × No. 90. The new variety has a more orange color flower than its parentage.
The new cultivar was discovered in 1986 at 55 rue Godard, 35400 Saint-Malo, France, was first asexually reproduced by cuttings during 1987 at Saint-Malo, France, and more recently has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinct characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., using full light, 60° F. night temperature, 68° F. day temperature, 71° F. vent temperature, and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer of 200-250 parts per million nitrogen and potassium, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in a four inch (10 cm) pot of six weeks.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawing illustrates a new cultivar, the color being as true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed descriptions set forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The plants were started as rooted cuttings which were potted on Feb. 17, 1989 and flowered on Apr. 18, 1989 and the color readings were taken shortly thereafter. The plant histories were taken of plants blossomed under full light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken indoors under 200-220 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.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Gigi has many new and outstanding features for an ivy geranium. The plant habit is fuller, resulting in higher cutting production. The plant form is much more compact than the current market varieties which produces a fuller plant. The single salmon-coral florets accent the medium green foliage. This variety has been garden tested and found to be much more heat tolerant and self-cleaning than those ivies currently sold.
When compared to the variety "King of Balcon", Gigi has larger petals, larger flowers, more heat tolerance, larger ivy leaf and less trailing habit.
