ABSTRACT:

CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×domesticum
(regal geranium).
VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Jewel’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of
Pelargonium×domesticum
known by the varietal name ‘Jewel’. The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a selection from the cross of unpatented proprietary breed variety Seedling Purple Bicolor #607, the female parent and ‘Lois’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,000), the male parent. The new variety is more compact than ‘Lois’. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been trial and field tested 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.
