ABSTRACT:
CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×hortorum
(zonal geranium).
VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Stardom Red’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of
Pelargonium×hortorum
known by the varietal name ‘Stardom Red’, Breeder No. 6DG2548. The new variety was discovered in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of Floribunda Red Seedling #1321 (female) (unpatented) and Deacon Fireball (male) (unpatented). The new variety exhibits similar flower color to both parents, but has improved flower type and flower form, and is more free flowering than its parents. The flowers of the new variety have deeper color and improved form over ‘Elizabeth’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,192). The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been trial and field tested 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, 60° F. night temperature and 68° F. day temperature and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer at 200-250 ppm nitrogen and potassium has a response time of six weeks to flowering from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 10 cm pot.
