Abstract
This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) named `Majestic` substantially as illustrated and described herein, particularly characterized as being compact and self-branching, early flowering and floriferous, and having medium red flowers with a ruby spot and feathering primarily on the upper petals.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) called `Majestic`. This cultivar is compact and self-branching (without pinching), early flowering and floriferous. The flowers are medium red with a ruby spot and feathering primarily on the upper petals.
The cultivar was developed from an organized, scientifically designed breeding program conducted at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. 16802. The objective was to produce a new regal pelargonium genotype with excellent propagation characteristics, compact growth habit, predictable and consistent flowering response, and acceptable postharvest quality. `Majestic` resulted from the selection from the progeny of the cross-pollination of regal Pelargonium cultivars `Virginia` and `Lavender Grand Slam`. The selection was asexually propagated by cuttings and the reproductions ran true.
With reference to the detailed description of the cultivar which follows, the test plant was potted in soilless medium and grown in a glasshouse under natural sunlight at a night temperature of about 58° F. and a day temperature of about 68° F. Fertilizer was applied in every watering, with 200 ppm nitrogen provided in the forms 15-16-17 (two consecutive) waterings) and 20-0-20 (every third watering) in a repeating cycle.
FIG. 1 illustrates in color the cultivar (cultivated with pinching) including foliage and flowers.
FIG. 2 illustrates in color primarily the floret.
Color readings were taken under cool white fluorescent light at approximately 200 foot candles and color identification was by reference to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Charts, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
