Geranium plant named `BFP-721 Bright Lilac`

Abstract

A new and distinct Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar named BFP-721 Bright Lilac is provided. This new Geranium cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the Laura cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,087) was pollinated by the FOX cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,083). The new cultivar forms attractive long-lasting dark lavender semi-double flowers with a white eye. Attractive medium green foliage that lacks zonation is well retained even during shipment. The growth habit is medium self-branching even in the absence of a growth regulator.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct Geranium plant named BFP-721 Bright Lilac, substantially as herein shown and described, which: (a) exhibits attractive long-lasting dark lavender semi-double florets with a white eye,   (b) forms medium green foliage, and   (c) exhibits a medium self-branching growth habit.
