Breeding of Pelargonium

INQUIRY

Pelargonium is a perennial succulent, twig, or shrub-like plant. It is native to southern Africa and is commonly cultivated throughout the world. Young Pelargonium is succulent herb, and older plants are semi-woody. Pelargonium is highly adaptable, with brightly colored flowers and a long flowering period, making them suitable for indoor placement and flowerbed arrangements.

Lifeasible has many years of experience in plant research services. We provide extensive and comprehensive ornamental plant breeding solutions for horticulturists worldwide. In Pelargonium breeding, relying on our advanced technology platform, we have played a significant role in breeding new varieties of Pelargonium. These varieties include flower color, flower shape, leaf color, cold and heat resistance.

Breeding of Pelargonium

Breeding of excellent varieties of Pelargonium

We provide effective technical support for Pelargonium trait improvement in Pelargonium breeding species, relying on advanced plant genetic engineering technology. We use genetic engineering technology to breed some exotic Pelargonium based on traditional breeding. This is effectively applied to improve the flower color, flower shape, leaf color, and flower fragrance of geraniums and breed some excellent varieties. We use genetic engineering technology which can be utilized to arbitrarily change and adjust the flower color of Pelargonium. By deciphering the flower pigment gene through genetic engineering technology and cloning the flower color gene into Pelargonium, we can breed special flowers, which will greatly increase the ornamental value of geraniums. At the same time, based on genetic engineering technology, we can also improve and modify the morphology of Pelargonium flowers. This includes the size of the flowers, the distribution, and state of the flowers, etc. In addition, using genetic engineering technology, we have effectively bred Pelargonium species with unique fragrances, such as scented Pelargonium, which is a mosquito repellent, as well as fruit-scented geranium and rose Pelargonium.

Scented Pelargonium breeding

We breed Pelargonium varieties with a variety of fragrance types. For example, we have produced Pelargonium with fragrance types such as apple, rose, lemon, lavender, mint, pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, artemisia, and cinnamon. These Pelargonium varieties with distinctive scents have a clear and unique fragrance and are, therefore, effectively used in cooking or for extracting essential oils.

Cultivation of colored-leaf Pelargonium

In addition to breeding Pelargonium with distinctive flower colors and shapes, we also breed colored-leaf geraniums. For example, there are varieties of colored-leaf geraniums with yellow hearts, yellow borders, white borders, and golden yellow. Our Pelargonium are wonderful and have significant ornamental value because of their distinct and vivid color distinction.
