ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification:
Pelargonium×peltatum
(ivy geranium).
Varietal denomination: ‘Global Red Peppermint’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of
Pelargonium×peltatum
known by the varietal name ‘Global Red Peppermint’, Breeder No. GRUxPC. The new variety was discovered in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of ‘Global Ruby Red’ (female) (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,600) and ‘Peppermint Candy’ (male) (unpatented). The new variety exhibits similar flower color to ‘Peppermint Candy’. The new variety has a growth habit similar to ‘Global Ruby Red’ which is more compact than that of ‘Peppermint Candy’. The new variety differs from ‘Global Ruby Red’ primarily in flower color. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been field trialed and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The new variety when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using full light, 55° F. night temperature and 72° F. day temperature and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer at 200-250 ppm nitrogen and potassium has a response time of ten weeks from a rooted cutting to flower in a 6 inch pot.
