Abstract
`Jessica` is a new variety of Pelargonium×hortorum geranium plant which brings a new violet color to the floribunda geranium series. The plant habit, zoning and flowering traits are equal to or better than those already in the series. Cutting production and rooting time are similar to the current variety `Elizabeth`. Growth habit is a neat mound which can be used well in containers, ground plantings or in hanging baskets.
Description
This invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of Pelargonium×hortorum identified by the varietal name of `Jessica`, Breeder No. 4DG771 and Oglevee, Ltd. No. 5031. The new variety was discovered by David G. Lemon in a selected breeding program in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of the commercial variety `Gypsy Girl`, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,018 and the unpatented variety `Pinto Violet`. The new variety was first asexually reproduced on Jan. 27, 1995 in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive generations.
The new variety, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using full light, 60° F. night temperature and 68° F. day temperature and grown in soilless media with constant fertilizer at 200-250 ppm nitrogen and potassium, has a response time of six weeks to flowering from a rooted cutting potted in a 10 cm pot.
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the characteristics of the new variety. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out at Oglevee, Ltd., 152 Oglevee Lane, Connellsville, Pa. 15425. The color readinsgs on a test plant grown in a 26 cm pot were taken in 200-220 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
