Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium (Pelargonium×hortorum) named #821-(82-116-13) substantially as described herein, characterized as being particularly well adapted to both commercial greenhouse production and garden performance, and as being early flowering and floriferous, self-branching and compact, heat-tolerant and low-light-tolerant.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium (Pelargonium×hortorum) called #821-(82-116-13). The cultivar is particularly well adapted to both commercial greenhouse production and garden performance. The cultivar is characterized as being early flowering, floriferous, self-branching and compact.
The cultivar was developed from an organized, scientifically designed breeding program carried out at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. 16802. The breeding program was designed to create new geranium genotypes with clear, bright colors which combined the flowering ability and compactness of European cultivars with the heat tolerance, low-light tolerance and excellent greenhouse production qualities of cultivars developed at Penn State. The pedigree of this cultivar is as follows: ##STR1## The selection was asexually propagated by cuttings and the reproductions ran true.
With reference to the detailed description of the cultivar which follows, the test plant was grown in a glasshouse under full natural light, at a night temperature of about 58° F., and a day temperature of about 68° F. Soilless medium was fertilized with every watering with 200 ppm nitrogen from 15-16-17.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The color photograph illustrates the short, branching habit of the plant and the large, showy red flower clusters carried well above the lightly zoned, densely placed leaves of the variety.
Color readings were taken under incandescent light at 200 foot candles and color identification was by reference to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Charts, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
