Variety traits
Pelargonium peltatum (L.) L'Hér.
Flower color is a key ornamental trait of Pelargonium peltatum, ranging from white to purple shades, including bicolored forms and the presence of contrasting veins.
In the reference 21 varieties crop Ivy-leaf geranium, where this is mentioned in the description.
The phenotypic diversity of petal color in Pelargonium peltatum includes white, pink, salmon, red, crimson, lilac, mauve, and purple tones. During cultivar testing, this trait is assessed visually as a qualitative characteristic, with cultivars featuring pronounced contrasting veins on the petals being frequently encountered.
Color saturation is determined by the accumulation of anthocyanins, such as delphinidin, malvidin, and cyanidin, as well as carotenoids. Unlike some ornamental crops, variations in soil pH levels do not influence the flower shade in this species.
The intensity of pigmentation depends on cultivation conditions, including the intensity of the light regime. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers stimulates the plant's vegetative growth, which can lead to a reduction in flower pigmentation density.
