Abstract

A new and distinctive geranium plant variety particularly distiguished by its tetraploid dark leaves, which provide a dramatic contrast to its bright vermilion colored flowers. The huge flower clusters are long lasting and are supported by strong upright 23-24 cm. stalks, whose foliage is bushy and botrytis-resistatnt. The florets contain five petals, which when open resemble windmills.
