Abstract
The new and distinct Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar named BFP-445 Salmon is provided. This new Zonal Geranium was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the BSR-100B Dark Salmon cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,296) was pollinated by a plant designated 907-4. The new cultivar forms attractive medium salmon semi-double florets. Dark green foliage is well retained during shipment. The growth habit is medium self-branching and does not require the use of a growth regulator.
