ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of
Pelargonium xpeltatum
identified by the varietal name of ‘Global Pink Pearl’ and Oglevee, Ltd. No. 8101. The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program at Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of ‘Global Neon Cherry’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,708) and the unpatented variety ‘Peppermint Candy’. The bright cherry colored petals with opalescent stripes of the new variety are similar to those of ‘Global Neon Cherry’ and the cutting production, rooting speed, plant habit, and plant growth are similar to or better than ‘Global Neon Cherry’. The new variety does not exhibit the longer trailing growth habit of ‘Peppermint Candy’ and has more stable petal striping. The new variety was first asexually reproduced on Jan. 21, 1999 in Connellsville, Pa. and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive generations. The plant was propagated asexually by cutting.
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 twelve weeks to flowering from a rooted cutting in a 10 inch pot. Three cuttings were planted per pot and pinched at four weeks after planting produce a finished hanging basket. The time to produce a root cutting is 24 to 28 days.
