Abstract

A new cultivar is characterized by its lasting quality, free and early flowering, basal branching and vigorous upright habit. The bloom color is different from those currently available being a more delicate salmon color. The compact bush habit provides an abundance of cuttings. The bloom contrasts nicely with the medium green foliage.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of the Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name Salmon Satisfaction (Oglevee No. 1151, PAS No. GR-159A/85). The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program by Mr. Scott Trees in April of 1985 in West Chicago, Ill. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of a single Salmon from F2 Morgengrus by Erplog.
The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Pan American Seed company in West Chicago, Ill. following its discovery. The new variety has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. over a several year period. It has also been trial and field tested at Connellsville during the summers of 1987, 1988 and 1989 and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The new variety has a bloom color which is different than those currently available in this color class being a more delicate salmon color against a contrasting medium green foliage.
The new cultivar when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using natural light and 60° F. (night), 68° F. (day), and 71° F. (vent) has a response time of 6 weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 10 centimeter pot. This response time has determined on plants grown in a soilless media employing constant fertilizer of 200 to 250 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium and in full light. The rooted cuttings were potted Aug. 1, 1989 and flowered Sep. 15, 1989.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 of the accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustration of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which define these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out by the Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The plant history was taken on six week plants blossomed under natural 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.
