ABSTRACT:
GENUS AND SPECIES
Pelargonium peltatum
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Free Burgundy’
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as
Pelargonium peltatum
Bailey, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Free Burgundy’. The new cultivar is propagated from a seedling resulting from the cross of 7246-1, seed parent, a bright blue-rose and single flowered, unnamed and unpatented proprietary line and 5638-1, pollen parent, a blue-rose flowered, unnamed and unpatented proprietary line.
‘Free Burgundy’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new geranium cultivars with burgundy colored flowers, double flower form, dark green foliage, vigorous growth and superior cutting productivity.
The new cultivar was created in 1996 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Gilroy, Calif. and Guatemala over a three year period. It has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif. and Andijk, The Netherlands. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
