Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name `L'amour` (Oglevee No. 2021, Breeder No. P-453). This variety will be commercialized under the name Love Song. The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Dresden, Germany in May of 1990. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of a combination of several inbred breeding-lines which are unidentified but maintained as proprietary for breeding purposes. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Dresden, Germany in September of 1990. The new variety has been asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. over a two year period starting Apr. 1, 1992. 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 and 72° F. day, has a response time of six weeks from a rotted 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 on Feb. 23, 1994 and flowered on Apr. 7, 1994.
FIG. 1 of the accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar the color 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 in a 15 cm pot blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and the color readings were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of fluorescent cool white light. Color references are primarily to the RHS Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society of London.
