Abstract

The new cultivar has a leading bright violet flower with great luminosity. It has a compact round growth habit and zoned leaves. It flowers continuously during the summer, beautiful in all weather and exhibits a very good garden performance. This mass-propagation variety is early to flower with very big umbels and produces an economical, high cutting yield without problems. It is suitable for all purposes, such as for early selling as potted plants, for use in window boxes or as bedding plants. The new cultivar is an improvement in comparison to the old violet variety "PAC Rospen".

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name `Penve`. The new variety was discovered at Elsner pac Jungpflanzen in Dresden, Germany in May, 1988. The new variety was discovered by crossbreeding several breeding lines, which are unnamed, but which are maintained proprietary for breeding purposes. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Elsner pac Jungflanzen in Dresden, Germany in October, 1988. It has also been trial and field tested from the year after discovery up to now at Elsner pac Jungpflanzen in Dresden, Germany and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The plant history was taken on six week plants blossomed under the natural light in a green house in 12 cm pots. The cultivar when grown in a glass greenhouse was potted on the Feb. 17, 1995 and flowered on Mar. 30, 1995.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photographic drqwing illustrates the new cultivar the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
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 Elsner pac Jungpflanzen in Dresden, Germany. The plant history was taken on six week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and the color readings were taken indoors under natural light in a room near a window without direct sunlight. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
