ABSTRACT:
GENUS AND SPECIES
Pelargonium hortorum.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Clips Red II’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as
Pelargonium hortorum
Bailey, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Clips Red II’. The new cultivar is propagated from a seedling resulting from the cross of an unnamed and unpatented proprietary line known as 7108-1 which is a red single flowered geranium and an unnamed and unpatented proprietary line known as 6087-4 which is a red semi-double geranium flower.
‘Clips Red II ’is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new geranium cultivars with red colored flowers, semi-double flower form, dark green foliage, vigorous growth and superior cutting productivity.
The new cultivar was created in 1997 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.
