Abstract

A new geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by green foliage without zonation, light lavender flower color, and semi-double flowers on large umbels, a vigorous plant that is fat rooting with a semi-compact habit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium peltatum, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Free Light Lav. The new cultivar is propagated from a seedling resulting from the cross of a seed parent known as 2581-3 and by using the ivy geranium known as Amethyst (not a patented variety) as the pollen parent.
Free Light Lav is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new ivy geranium cultivars with light lavender colored flowers, semi-double flower form, mid-green foliage, vigorous growth and superior cutting productivity.
The new cultivar was created in 1922 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Gilroy, Calif. and Guatemala over a four year period. It has also been trailed at Okemos, Mi. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and this novelty appears to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
This new geranium plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 shows overall plant habit;
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of Free Light Lav . The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out by Goldsmith Seeds, Inc. in Gilroy, Calif. The plant histroy was taken on 18 week old plants, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken in the greenhouse (in Gilroy, Calif.) on Aug. 29, 1996 under ambient light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S).

Leaves.--Size: Diameter about 5 cm. Shape: Ivy-shaped leaf with edges raised above the plane of the center of the leaf. Margin: Smooth. Texture: Waxy on both surfaces. Ribs: Radiate from the point of attachment of the petiole. Veins: Present but very inconspicuous. Color: Upper side: Green Under side: Lighter green color. Veins a little more distinct that on the upper leaf surface. Petioles: About 2.5 to 3.5 cm in length on a mature leaf.

The two top petals have a feather vein pattern that is (a darker rose purple color) 74A RHS. Veins slightly darker than interveinal regions. Color changing little with age. Underside of petals lighter. Petals and petaloids soft and satiny.
Pedicel: Approximately 2.6cm in length
Persistence: Non-shattering flower.
Inflorescence
Type: An umbel composed of approximately 10 flowers, erect or laterally ascending.
