ABSTRACT:
GENUS AND SPECIES
Pelargonium hortorum.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Free White’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as
Pelargonium peltatum
Bailey, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Free White’. The new cultivar is propagated from a seedling resulting from the cross of 7407-2 a white flowered, unnamed and unpatented proprietary line and 6745-3 a white flowered, unnamed and unpatented proprietary line.
‘Free White’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new geranium cultivars with white colored flowers, semi-double flower form, 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 two and a half 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.
