Abstract
A new cultivar of geranium plant distinguished by flowers that have a delicate pink coloration that intensifies under high temperature and light intensities, the very large size of its inflorescence clusters, and a continuous and abundant flowering habit throughout the year with adequate length of photoperiod. This new plant is more compact and free branching and, because of its greater number of stems and a consistent tendency to produce flowers on a 2-4 node cycle, has a greater flowering potential than its predecessors.
