ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of
Pelargonium×domesticum
known by the varietal name ‘Regal Ballet’ (Oglevee No. 156, Breeder No. 5DG1925). The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a selection from the cross of ‘Sandra’, the female parent, (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,019) and an unpatented proprietary breeding variety (Oglevee No. 254), the male parent. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Connellsville and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using natural light and temperatures of 60° F. night and 68° F. day, has a response time of 13 weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 6 inch pot. The response time was determined on plants grown in soilless media employing constant fertilizer 150-200 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light. Plants of ‘Regal Ballet’ differ from the plants of the parental cultivars primarily in flower color.
