Geranium plant named `BFP-285 Pink Parfait`

Abstract

A new and distinct Pelargonium×hortorum cultivar named `BFP-285 Pink Parfait is provided. This new Geranium cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein an unnamed plant designated `A-S-M-1` was pollinated by an unnamed plant designated `4102A`. The new variety forms attractive semi-double florets having petals with a background color of lavender pink with a large dark purple freckle on each petal which fades to white at the attachment point. Medium green foliage is formed that commonly includes some zonation on younger leaves. The growth habit is medium self-branching and does not require the use of a growth regulator.

What is claimed:
