Abstract
A new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant named `Duepetcher`, characterized by its cherry red petal color; floriferousness; dense and bushy plant habit; freely and basally branching plant habit; and dark green non-variegated foliage.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri, and hereinafter referred to by the name `Duepetcher`. The new variety is marketed under the trade name Red Fox Petticoat Cherry.
The new variety is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to develop New Guinea Impatiens that are freely branching; compact; early flowering; and that have desirable flower and leaf colors.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the proprietary New Guinea Impatiens seedling selection identified as code number K-13 as the male or pollen parent with a proprietary New Guinea Impatiens seedling selection identified as code number K-14 as the female or seed parent.
`Duepetcher` was discovered and selected in 1994 by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by terminal cuttings taken at Rheinberg, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new variety are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Duepetcher`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Duepetcher` as a new and distinct variety:
1. Cherry red petal color.
2. Freely flowering.
3. Dense and bushy plant habit.
4. Very freely and basally branching plant habit.
5. Dark green non-variegated foliage.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens differ from the parent varieties primarily in flower color. In addition, plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens have darker green foliage than either parent selection.
The new variety can be compared to the commercial cultivar Bora Bora (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,421). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany, plants of the new variety are more uniform and have more red in the flower color.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new variety, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new New Guinea Impatiens. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of `Duepetcher`. Flower and foliage colors in the photograph may appear different than the actual color due to light reflectance.
Plants of `Duepetcher` have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 12-cm containers during the spring in Rheinberg, Germany, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day of about 22° C., night temperatures about 18° C. and light levels about 42.5 thousand lux.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
