ABSTRACT:
GENUS AND SPECIES
Pelargonium hortorum.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Clips Vio’.
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 Vio’. The new cultivar is propagated from a seedling resulting from the cross of an unnamed and unpatented seed parent known as 7149-1 which is a bright rose single flower line and an unnamed and unpatented pollen parent known as 6365-2 which is a blue rose flowered and dark leafed plant.
‘Clips Vio’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new geranium cultivars with violet colored flowers, semi-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 four 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.
