Abstract
This new cultivar has a very compact and uniform plant habit in which the deep red flowers are positioned appropriately above the foliage. Further, the variety does exceptionally well when grown indoors and response time can be shortened by up to two weeks in blooming time. Cutting production and ease of rooting have also been improved.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name Sassy Dark Red (V.E.B. Number P-3 Oglevee Code 7026). The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in 1985 in Berlin, East Germany. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of PAC Cherry and purple colored breeding stocks. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at VEB Saat-und Pflanzgut, Ex-und Import, Moosdorfstrasse 3, 1193 Berlin, East Germany. The new variety has been 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 and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The 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 six weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 10 cm. pot. The response time was determined on plants grown in soilless media employing constant fertilizer 200 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light. The rooted cuttings were potted Feb. 14, 1990 and flowered on Apr. 1, 1990.
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar, with the colors shown being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The plant history was taken on six week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and the color readings were taken indoors under 100-125 foot candles of florescent cool white light. Color references are primarily to the RHS Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society of London.

The flowers of Sassy Dark Red are also positioned more appropriately above the foliage.
Indoor performance is also quite exceptional. When grown in a 4" pot for the spring market, this new variety can be up to two weeks earlier in blooming time. Cutting production and ease of rooting have also been improved.
