Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Ovation Suncatcher Orange’, characterized by its mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; dark and yellow green variegated leaves; freely flowering habit with flowers positioned above or beyond the foliage; large orange red-colored flowers; and tolerance to full sun conditions and low and high temperatures.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Ovation Suncatcher Orange.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Ovation Suncatcher Orange’.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program Inventor in Ashtabula, Ohio and Lompoc, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new freely flowering Impatiens cultivars with interesting flower and foliage colors.
The new Impatiens originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during the winter of 1997 of a proprietary Impatiens hawkeri seedling selection designated as code number 97-930-1, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with the Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Encounters, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The cultivar Ovation Suncatcher Orange was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in controlled environment in Ashtabula, Ohio.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Lompoc, Calif., since August, 1998, has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations. Plants of the new Impatiens differ from the female parent selection and the cultivar Encounters in plant size and habit, leaf color, and flower size.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Ovation Suncatcher Orange’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ovation Suncatcher Orange’ as a new and distinct Impatiens cultivar:
1. Mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching growth habit, dense and full plants.
3. Dark and yellow green variegated leaves.
4. Freely flowering habit with flowers positioned above or beyond the foliage.
5. Large, orange red-colored flowers.
6. Tolerant to full sun conditions and low and high temperatures.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the cultivar BFP-605 Orange, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,078. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar BFP-605 Orange, in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens were shorter, denser and more mounded (not as upright) than plants of the cultivar BFP-605 Orange.
2. Plants of the new Impatiens had broader leaves than plants of the cultivar BFP-605 Orange.
3. Plants of the new Impatiens had variegated leaves whereas plants of the cultivar BFP-605 Orange had non-variegated leaves.
4. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar BFP-605 Orange.
5. Plants of the new Impatiens had shorter flower spurs than plants of the cultivar BFP-605 Orange.
Plants of the new Impatiens can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Cameo, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,316. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Cameo, in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens were shorter and more mounded (not as upright) than plants of the cultivar Cameo.
2. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Cameo.
3. Flower color of plants of the new Impatiens was orange red whereas flower color of plants of the cultivar Cameo was light red.
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. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Impatiens. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Ovation Suncatcher Orange’ grown in a container.
The cultivar Ovation Suncatcher Orange 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 aforementioned photographs and following detailed botanical description describe plants grown in Lompoc, Calif., during the winter, under commercial practice in a fiberglass-covered greenhouse. Plants used in the following description were grown in 15-cm containers for about seven to nine weeks after planting rooted cuttings. During the production period, day temperatures were about 21 to 24° C., night temperatures were about 16 to 18° C., and light levels were about 3,000 to 4,000 foot-candles.
