Abstract
A new and distinct tetraploid Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar named BSR-100B Dark Salmon is provided. This new Zonal Geranium cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the Tango cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,933) was pollinated by the Fidelio cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,752). The new cultivar forms attractive semi-double salmon florets which contrast well with dark green foliage which lacks zoning. The attractive dark green foliage coloration is well retained even during shipment. The growth habit is inherently compact and self-branching and does not require the use of growth regulators to maintain such growth characteristic. Good tolerance to wind and rain is exhibited.
