ABSTRACT:

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×hortorum
(zonal geranium).
VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Patriot Cranberry Red’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of
Pelargonium×hortorum
known by the varietal name ‘Patriot Cranberry Red’. The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in Lompoc, Calif. as Breeder No. 6DG2815-1. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of ‘Americana Dark Red’ (female) (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,307) and ‘BFP-
838 Dark Red’ (male) (U.S. Plant Pat. No.
9,544). The new variety exhibits similar plant type to both parents and a flower color with more blue pigment than the parents' flower colors. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Connellsville and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using natural light and temperatures of 60° F. night and 68° F. day, has a response time of 8 weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 6 inch pot. The response time was determined on plants grown in soilless media employing constant fertilizer 200-250 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light.
