ABSTRACT:
Classification: The present invention relates to a new Hybrid
Dianthus caryophyllus
plant.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘CFPC Charm’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of carnation plant which was originated by me by crossing two undistributed unpatented seedlings identified as ‘970152’ (female parent) and ‘970161’ (male parent). The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘CFPC Charm’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the novel characteristics possessed by the new variety which distinguish it from other varieties of which I am aware, are its unusual dark hot pink flowers which retain color without fading. When grown in a greenhouse in Salinas, Calif., in 4½ inch plastic pots, pinched plants are about 9½ inches tall and about 7 inches in diameter. Flower diameter averages about 2 inches with a crown of about 1 inch (average). Foliage is about 3⅝ inches long and about ⅜ inch wide at its widest point.
Asexual reproduction by propagation by cuttings of the new variety as performed in Salinas, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagation.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The new variety differs from its parents in flower color. The female parent produces salmon pink flowers, and the male parent produces red flowers.
