Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) named `Allure` substantially as illustrated and described herein, particularly characterized as being compact and self-branching, early flowering, and having flowers which are soft pink in color with red feathering on the upper two petals thereof.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) called `Allure`. This cultivar is compact and self-branching (without pinching) and early flowering. The flowers are soft pink with red feathering on the upper two petals.
The cultivar was developed from an organized, scientifically designed breeding program conducted at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. 16802. The objective was to produce a new regal Pelargonium genotype with excellent propagation characteristics, compact growth habit, predictable and consistent flowering response and good postharvest quality. `Allure` resulted from the selection from the progeny of the cross-pollination of regal Pelargonium cultivars `White Glory` and `Melissa`. The selection was asexually propagated by cuttings and the reproductions ran true.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 illustrates in color the cultivar (cultivated with pinching) including foliage and flowers.
FIG. 2 illustrates in color primarily the floret.
With reference to the detailed description of the cultivar which follows, the test plant was potted in soilless medium and grown in a glasshouse under natural sunlight at a night temperature of approximately 58° F. and a day temperature of approximately 68° F. Fertilizer was applied in every watering, with 200 ppm nitrogen provided in the forms of 15-16-17 (two consecutive waterings) and 20-0-20 (every third watering) in a repeating cycle.
Color readings were taken under incandescent light at approximately 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.
