ABSTRACT:
Genus and species:
Pelargonium peltatum.
Variety denomination: ‘Free Pink Two’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as
Pelargonium peltatum
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Free Pink Two’. The new cultivar originated from the cross of a seed parent known as 5165-1 a blue-pink proprietary line unpatented and unnamed ×5146-1 a red proprietary line unpatented and unnamed.
‘Free Pink Two’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new geranium cultivars with pink colored flowers, semi-double flower form, 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., Guatemala and Kenya over a six-year period. It has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif., Litchfield, Mich. and Andijk, The Netherlands. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
