Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named `Delhi`, characterized by its numerous large crimson red-colored flowers that are held above the foliage; uniform and rounded growth habit; medium plant height; very freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit; and dark green leaves.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri, and herinafter referred to by the cultivar name Delhi.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Stuttgart, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to develop varieties with good branching, medium plant height, rounded plant habit, early flowering, floriferousness, bright flower color, and large round flowers.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the New Guinea Impatiens selection identified as A 069, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent, with the New Guinea Impatiens selection identified as N 295, not patented, as the female, or seed parent.
The cultivar Delhi was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1996 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Stuttgart, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Stuttgart, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Delhi`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Delhi` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Numerous large crimson red-colored flowers that are held above the foliage.
2. Uniform and rounded growth habit.
3. Medium plant height.
4. Very freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit.
5. Dark green leaves.
Compared to plants of the male parent, the crimson-red selection identified as A 069, plants of the new Impatiens have a redder flower color and flower earlier. Compared to plants of the female parent, the violet selection identified as N 295, plants of the new Impatiens differ in flower color, are larger, have larger flowers and leaves, and are more uniform.
Plants of the new Impatiens are similar in flower color to plants of the nonpatented New Guinea Impatiens cultivar Kamina. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Stuttgart, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens had a more uniform plant habit and larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Kamina.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of `Delhi`. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may differ from the actual colors due to lifht reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants of the cultivar Delhi have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Stuttgart, Germany, under greenhouse and outdoor production practices.
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.
