Geranium plant named `BFP-837 Scarlet`

Abstract

The new and distinct Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar named `BFP-837 Scarlet` is provided. This new Zonal Geranium was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the a plant designated 11185A (non-Patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated PAS 186-4-4-1 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms attractive large semi-double scarlet florets commonly with a darker area on two petals of each floret. Dark green foliage is well retained during shipment. A medium self-branching growth habit is exhibited that does not require the use of a growth regulator.

I claim:
