Geranium plant named `Lilac Chiffon`

Abstract

The new and distinct Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar named `Lilac Chiffon` is provided. This new Zonal Geranium was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the a plant designated 3412-21 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by the `Precious` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,005). The new cultivar forms attractive soft lilac semi-double florets with a white eye. Medium green foliage with zonation is well retained during shipment. A vigorous self-branching growth habit is exhibited that does not require the use of a growth regulator.

I claim:

A new and distinct Geranium plant named `Lilac Chiffons`, substantially as herein shown and described, which: (a) exhibits attractive soft lilac semi-double florets with a white eye,   (b) forms attractive medium green foliage with zonation, and   (c) exhibits a vigorous self-branching growth habit in the absence of a growth regulator.
