Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Double Impatiens plant named ‘Cameo White’, characterized by its extremely large white-colored flowers; fully double flower form; freely flowering habit with flowers positioned above the foliage; compact, mounded, spreading, densely foliated, and freely branching plant habit; and large leaves.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Double Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens walleriana, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Cameo White’.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Cartago, Costa Rica. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact Double Impatiens cultivars with large fully double flowers, excellent branching, and interesting flower and foliage colors.
The new Impatiens originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the Impatiens walleriana cultivar ‘Confection Orange’, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent, with the Impatiens walleriana cultivar ‘Dazzler White’, not patented, as the female, or seed parent. The cultivar ‘Cameo White’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Cartago, Costa Rica.
Plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the male parent, the cultivar ‘Confection Orange’, in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens have fully double white flowers whereas plants of the cultivar ‘Confection Orange’ have semi-double orange flowers.
2. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens are sterile whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘Confection Orange’ are fertile.
3. Plants of the new Impatiens are shorter than plants of the cultivar ‘Confection Orange’.
Plants of the female parent, ‘Dazzler White’, and plants of the new Impatiens differ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens have fully double flowers whereas plants of the cultivar ‘Dazzler White’ have single flowers.
2. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens are sterile whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘Dazzler White’ are fertile.
3. Plants of the new Impatiens are shorter than plants of the cultivar ‘Dazzler White’.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Cartago, Costa Rica, has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens 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 ‘Cameo White’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Cameo White’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Extremely large white-colored flowers; freely flowering.
2. Fully double flower form.
3. Freely flowering habit.
4. Flowers positioned above the foliage.
5. Compact, mounded and spreading plant habit.
6. Freely branching habit.
7. Large leaves; densely foliated.
The new Impatiens can be compared to the Impatiens walleriana cultivar ‘BFP-7812’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,365. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the cultivar ‘BFP-7812’ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens are more compact and spreading than plants of the cultivar ‘BFP-7812’ which are more upright.
2. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens are about 25 to 30% larger and have more petals than flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘BFP-7812’.
3. When opening under cool temperature conditions, flower buds of plants of the new Impatiens have a greenish white caste whereas flower buds of plants of the cultivar ‘BFP-7812’ have a pinkish caste.
4. Leaves of plants of the new Impatiens are more rounded and lighter green than leaves of plants of the cultivar ‘BFP-7812’.
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 reproduction of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Impatiens. The photograph comprises a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Cameo White’.
The cultivar ‘Cameo White’ has 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 Lompoc, Calif., under commercial practice in a fiberglass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 21 to 24° C., night temperatures about 16 to 18° C. and light levels generally about 3,000 to 4,000 footcandles. Plants were about 10 weeks old after planting a rooted cutting.
