Geranium named Klerissa

Abstract

A new and distinct geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by the intensive red coloration of its well filled blooming clusters which stand well above a compact mass of dark green foliage, thereby providing a sharp and very attractive appearance for the blooming plant. The plant itself is very bushy and is of a relatively low overall height of about 30 cm. above the soil, the growth rate being medium but upright and compact with good strength. The floral persistence is very good and the lasting quality of the blooming plant is very long from early Spring to late Fall.

I claim: 
     
       1. The new geranium cultivar, as herein shown and described, particularly distinguished by its bright red flower clusters standing well above a bushy, compact foliage body with dark green leaves.
