Abstract
A new and distinct Geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by its continuous and profuse production of large flower clusters comprising very large semi-double florets of a pink salmon color that does not fade in great heat, the flower clusters having an average diameter of 10 to 12 cm. and containing 40 to 50 florets of a diameter of about 5.5 cm. Each of these flower clusters stands on a strong light brown stalk of 11 to 12 cm. long and well above a light green foliage body of medium sized kidney shaped leaves which grown in a round body having a height of about 28 cm. above the soil, measured below the flower clusters. The floral persistance is very good with a lasting quality of about 17 to 18 days and the whole plant shows resistance against botrytis.
Description
This new Geranium variety was found by me in the Summer of 1979 as a mutation after meristeming "Pink Camelia" at my nursery at Stuttgart, West Germany and it has been grown there under controlled conditions since its discovery and especially during the last four years when it has been noted to be outstanding compared with both old and new varieties and because of that, I have propagated this discovery plant by means of cuttings, for both indoor and outdoor growing, through successive generations whereby it was found that the homogeniety of this plant can be assured. I have found that because of its flori-ferousness and its outstanding color this new plant has a great market value.
My new Geranium cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying full-color photographic drawing which shows a potted plant in bloom and illustrating the general characteristics of this variety with respect to both the foliage, the blossoms, and the bud clusters, the color shown being as true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional professional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new Geranium cultivar based upon observations made in 1988 of plants grown both in greenhouse as well as outdoors and the color designation is according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by the Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
