Pelargonium Angel Group - Variegated PELARGONIUM ANGEL GROUP - VARIEGATED Albert - some cream margins, flowers light lilac-pink with darker veins Annsbrook Beauty - irregular white to cream margin to 15% or so, flowers light pink with purple markings on all petals, just a dot or blotch on lovers, a very large and complex blotch on uppers, covering 30-40-% of the upper petal surfaface. Faint lemon scent but not truly a scented geranium. Fir Trees Ele - thin golden margin, flowers to 95% reddish-purple mark. Sport of 'Spanish Angel'. Golden Angel - yellow to greenish-yellow (if shaded) margin to 20%, very colorful, flowers mauve with dark blotch on uppers. US Patent #13813. It was not widely seen in the US until 2005. Sport of 'Darmsden'. Madame Layal Variegated (Variegated Madam Layal) - thin white margins, flowers "pansy type" much as 'Madame Layal' with purple uppers, lower ones light lavender with dark purple feathering and radiating veins. Its reverts to the old green sort with ease. Oldbury Duet - yellow to cream margins to 15% or so, margins whitish in shade, flowers with violet-red upper petals, mauve-pink and white lowers (duet=bicolor effect), sport of 'Tip Top Duet'. Rita Scheen - thin white margin, leaves sometimes deformed and cupped, flowers mostly light lilac to blush with reddish-purple blotch (to 70%) on upper petals. Faint lemon scent. Rita Scheen Improved - as above but variegation said to be more regular on flat leaves and with less deformed surface. The original may have virus. This is a Faye Brawner sport and since sports are seldom virus free it is apparently just a more stable chimeral manifestation. This is not a valid cultivar name and it surely deserves a new one. Sarah Don - dark green center on light green, flowers mauve with reddish-purple blotch PELARGONIUM CASCADE GROUP (P. x hortorum x P. peltatum) x ? also called "Balcon", "Ivy-Zonal Cross" and "Hybrid Ivy" Geraniums This group combines the relaxed, spreading habit of ivy Geraniums (P. peltatum) with the heat tolerance of zonal bedding types (P. x hortorum), borrowing double flowers, dense heads, and leaf colors from the later. They often cascade and as such as useful in baskets, balcony planters, and over walls. Other groups are likely in the mix and some are clearly hybrids to species sorts with narrow, brightly veined petals and leaves different from the main parent groups. Some authors such as Faye Brawner use the name "Cascade geraniums" for hybrids of P. frutetorum, a group of hyper-zonal types with very large dark margins of 20-80% of the surface. I discuss these below under the Dark Leaf and Hyper-Zonal Types section below. Historically speaking, the name "cascade" was first applied to truly cascading, trailing, balcony types from P. peltatum crossed to P. x hortorium. The following are popular clones and strains to date: 'Acapulco Compact Cascade' - bicolored single flowers in magenta-pink with whitish to blush centers. 'Alliance' - light orchid pink with darker pink markings on the upper petals, semi-double 'Apricot' - salmon-pink to peachy pink, dark blotched leafhttp://www.elj.com/geranium/ 'Baton Rouge'- flowers single, salmon, leaves shwoy with cream margins. Hard to root. 'Blue Spring' ('Blaur Fruhling')- lilac to odd bluish-lavender shade 'Bright Cascade' - very bright, nearly true red single. 'Bright Lass' - dark coral, semi-double 'Canary Island' - dark salmon-pink, singles. 'Deacon Fireball' - very bright scarlet flowers 'Decora Imperial' - - rich salmon red, single 'Decora Lavender' - rich lavender-pink, narrow, spaced petals 'Eastborne Beauty' - rose-red, double 'Elsi' - double, bright red flowers. Leaves lobed and with a nice white border. 'Elsner's Red and White' - bicolor single in red with white eye, cascades due to long internodes 'Elsner's Rose and White' - bicolor single in dark pink with white centers, cascades due to long internodes 'Forest Maid' - scarlet to rose-red flowers in large heads. Leaves are golden-green, subtle 'Grenchen' - bright crimson to coral-red flowers, strong plants. Probably 'Schone von Grenchen'? 'Harlequin Pretty Girl' - semi-double flowers in a bicolor of white and orange, orange with white stripes in most cases 'Indianapolis Pink' - bright pink, white throat, double 'Jack of Hearts' - double, salmon-pink, darker markings Jackpot Series 'Jackpot Liliac Mist' - light lavender tones 'Jackpot Rose' - dark pink, double 'The Joker' - flowers double, pink markings and spots in upper petals 'King of Hearts - light pink, red veins for contrast, double 'Lady Gertrude' - rich mauve-pink, purple markings, upper petals with whitish bases 'Lara Delight' - dark cerise pink, very huge floral width 'Lara Gem' - light pink, double pink 'Lila Compact Cascade' - abundant lavender-pink flowers, single 'Lila Mini Cascade' - much as above but smaller, mounded, smaller in most parts\ 'Madeline Crozy' - reddish-coral, double flowers 'Millfield Gem' - flowers double, rich amaranth-pink, showy red markings 'Millfield Rosebud' - light pink, full double with rosebud shape 'Mini Pink Cascade' - single pink, small plant, very floriferous. Same as 'Pink Mini Cascade'? 'Oldbury Cascade' - flowers single, red. Leaves margined cream to yellow. 'Pink Cascade' - single pink flowers in a bright magenta tone, whitish center. 'Queen of Hearts' - blush to light pink, double, large red marking on petals 'Red Mini Cacasde' - true red singles, very floriferous 'Remsquelle Variegated' - flowers blush to light pink, single, upper petals marked red, green and white leaf. 'Rococo' - pink, red veined, full double rose-bud like shape 'Schone von Grenchen' - double, rose-red to coral red flowers in large clusters. 'Sofie Cascade' - medium pink singles, very floriferous. Top Performer at Penn State trials in 2003. 'Souvenir of Villemaroy' - flowers cherry- red to true red, double, white reverse, showy contrast. 'Ten of Hearts' - light salmon, red veins, double 'Ville de Dresden' - white single flowers veins in dark violet-red, narrow petals, floriferous. 'White Compact Cascade' - floriferous white single, a hint of pink in each center. replaces PAC White Cascade for better branching and more flowers. PELARGONIUM X HORTORUM - ZONALE AND NON-ZONALE BEDDING This section is devoted to the classic pot plant and bedding hybrids with a green leaf or a slightly marked, zonale type of marking. As the number of known cultivars is staggering (well into 1200), this section will be devoted to photos of the best cultivars I have seen in my travels to trial gardens, garden centers, breeders, and Geranium specialtists. Your choice of cultivars and those available locally will definately vary. Look under "Pelargonium - Scented" below for general references on the genus in gardens. A superb website known as the Pelargonium Palette has a huge database with good photos and sources: http://www.elj.com/geranium/ Some of the top specialist and wholesale Pelargonium websites are reference books in themselves. I like the following for extra reading, expert opinions, and many, many images: http://www.geraniumsuk.com/ http://www.geraniumcottage.com.au/ http://www.gosbrookpelargoniums.com/ http://www.firtreespelargoniums.co.uk/ http://www.goldsmithseeds.com/ http://www.fibrex.co.uk/ http://www.ozgeraniums.com.au http://www.dereklloyddean.com/ http://www.pelargoniums.org.uk/ http://www.holtgeraniums.com/ http://www.fischerusa.com A Chronology of Pelargonium x hortorum cultivar introductions and their ornamental evolution: This is a original history based on my study of more than 80 original documents, first submitted October 2008, and is more complete I believe than histories included in the major Pelargonium reference works. As ever, your comments as NOS members and subscribers are most welcome. 1710 - P. zonale, the horseshoe or zonate stork's bill comes from Cape of Good Hope to England 1714 - P. inquinans, the "staining stork's bill" or "scarlet stork's bill" reaches England 1734 - Sir Thomas More in Flower Garden Displayed records a "silver-leaved geranium", having cream margins. 1768 - Miller reportedly mentions a variegated sport of P. zonale, perhaps the one known to More in 1734. The name 'Miller's Variegated' appeared in subsequant years, likely for the same plant. 1780 - Dr. Fothergill raises 'Fothergillii' which Burbridge in 1877 Cultivated Plants calls "one of the earliest improvements on P. zonale and is figured by Andrews in his 'Geraniaceae'. It is much larger in floral dimensions and is thought to be important in Beaton's later work in the Nosegay Group. In fact, the 1828 issue of The Gardener's Magazine gives the common name "scarlet nosegay geranium" for P. fothergillii, clearly suggesting this connection. 1799 - Henry Andrews of England writes the first Geranium guide, mentioning a dwarf zonale called minimum. It is probably the same variety (or basic theme) offered in the mid 1850's in Europe as 'Scarlet Minima' or 'Scarlet Minimum'. 1817 - a double-flowered variant of P. inquinans is mentioned, said to be grown in Ghent 1823 - 'Golden Chain' becomes a popular gold marginate, having a wider, brighter edge than the older 'Golden Circle' 1837 - Herbert mentions sports and early cross-breeding of Pelargonium species, some of it accidental 1839 - Sweet's Hortus Brittanicus of this year mentions Geranium zonale minima but using his name of Ciconium pumilum, surely the same or similar to minimum. He covers four variations of Ciconium zonale (an early alternative name for Pelargonium zonale) includng 1) lilacinum (lilac-colored), 2) coccineum (scarlet), 3) crystallinum (coral-stalked), and 4) margined (white-edged). He also covers C. fothergillii which today would be called P. zonale 'Fothergillii', likely an early parent of modern Zonals. The Fothergill Geranium came in two forms: 1) coccineum (scarlet) and 2) purpureum (purple) so it was never a single clone. c. 1840 - Nosegay Group varieties begin to come from England courtesy of Donald Beaton, these have very narrow petals and very large heads of flowers. 'Fothergillii' is one sort known then and thought to be a parent of them; scarlet red of course. They may date many decades before this date.

  • Phylogenetics, Character Evolution and a Subgeneric Revision of the Genus Pelargonium (Geraniaceae)

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology of Plants, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Schlossplatz 4, 48149 Münster, Germany. Correspondence to: Joachim Röschenbleck Abstract Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of Pelargonium have remained inconclusive with respect to branching patterns of major infrageneric lineages, with the exception of a basalmost generic split that reflects chromosome length differences. Because of this and the lack of clearly distinguishing morphological characters, no subgeneric classification has been undertaken so far. Here, we present increased phylogenetic signal using chloroplast atpB-rbcL spacer and trnL- F sequences including additional taxa (110 taxa in total) and character sampling. All analyses confirmed the previously recognised first split into two clades characterised by chromosome size, and also converged on four major clades (two within each chromosome size group). The four major clades are further supported by synapomorphic length mutations from both intergenic spacers. The evolution of characters from flower morphology and phenolic constituents was examined for usefulness for clade delimitation. Although character state distributions did not generally reveal clear synapomorphies for the respective lineages, differences in state distributions of floral characters and leaf phenols support the circumscription of these major clades.

  • Geraniums Each Year the National Garden Bureau Selects One fl Ower and One Vegetable to Be Showcased
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 17 Feb 2012 NGB’s Annual of the Year 2012: Geraniums Each year the National Garden Bureau selects one fl ower and one vegetable to be showcased. These crops are chosen because they are popular, easy-to-grow, widely adaptable, genetically diverse, and versatile. For 2012 they chose garden geraniums (Pelargonium spp.) Introduction and Nomenclature The bedding plants gardeners plant out in late spring and bring inside in autumn are commonly known as geraniums; but geraniums they are not. They are pelargoniums. True geraniums are the cranesbills, hardy North American and European herbaceous perennials; while pelargoniums are semi-tender or tender plants, mostly from South Africa, that have graced our gardens with their large fl owers for Geraniums are popluar bedding decades. plants. We have to remember that botany wasn’t an exact science in the 17th century when the fi rst geraniums and pelargoniums were introduced. So, based on the shape of their fruit, plant collectors generally lumped both together as “geranium.” To tackle the complex history of geranium or pelargonium, one has to confront the use of common names versus scientifi c ones. Scientifi c names give individuals a common language by which they could communicate with other people, no matter the country they are from or what their mother tongue might be. In 1753 the famous and infl uential Swedish botanist, Linnaeus, published his two-volume book called Species Pelargonium quercifolium fl ower (L) and leaf (R). Plantarum, in which he attempted to pull together the names and descriptions of all known plants.

  • Geranium Care for the Consumer
    Geranium Care for the Consumer History Geraniums are originally from the mostly dry and hot regions of South Africa. Pelargonium peltatum, today’s commercial ivy types, were first introduced into Holland in 1700. Pelargonium x hortorum, today’s commercial upright zonal types, were first cultivated in England by the Duchess of Beaufort in 1710. Most of the early breeding was done in England and later, in the 19th and 20th centuries, in Germany. Most of the current commercial varieties are the result of breeding work done in Germany. Fischer GmbH & Co., Hillscheid, Germany, the world’s largest producer and breeder of geraniums, has over 110 geranium varieties on the worldwide market and is adding new varieties every year. Fischer USA, Inc. is the marketing and distribution arm for Fischer Germany in North America. These new modern varieties, all with better colors, bigger flowers, and improved growth habit, can be traced to around 20 natural species of Pelargonium. Why Geraniums? With 500 million geraniums produced in Europe and 200 million produced in North America, geraniums represent one of the most exciting commercial flower crops in the world. No other flowering plant has shown a greater rate of increase in dollar value to commercial floriculture and better performance to the purchasers during the last twenty years. Gardeners around the world love the overall beauty, toughness, and versatility of geraniums. Compared to many other plant species, geraniums can tolerate cold and hot conditions, can handle complete dryness, and are very resistant against pests. Their beautiful and long lasting flowers bloom continuously, from the last frost in the spring to the first frost in the fall.

  • International Geraniaceae Group Seed List 2018
    INTERNATIONAL GERANIACEAE GROUP SEED LIST 2018 Welcome to the new format IGG seed list! You will notice two things. The new donations for 2017/8 are listed first followed by a separate list for seeds remaining from the 2016/7 list. The IGG reference numbers for this year start WHERE THEY LEFT OFF last time. This will mean in future a donation gets a permanent number which will make reference easier. The second important change is that packets of seed will be charged at 30p a packet plus a standard charge of £2.00 per order for postage wherever you live. Payment has also been standardised through Paypal. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY NOW! Please wait until I tell you what to pay. Orders should be sent by email to [email protected] Please list the IGG reference numbers. If a species has several donations, you can list several numbers joined by hyphens to indicate the donation preferred (eg. 71-74-72). There is no limit on packets ordered but only one per donation. Packets will contain a minimum of 2 seeds, so you have a better chance! Mostly there will be much more. Orders will be dealt with strictly in order of receipt. In due time, you will receive a reply telling you what you can have and how much to pay. Payment can be made using this link http://www.geraniaceae-group.org/society/seed- exchange/seed-exchange-members-only/ You will need to have registered on the website and established a password to enter this area.
