Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Fisnics Sweet Orange’, characterized by its outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; medium to tall growth habit; freely branching and freely flowering habit; very dark green-colored foliage; and large, nearly rounded, light and darker orange bi-colored flowers that are positioned above and beyond the foliage.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Fisnics Sweet Orange.
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 hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Fisnics Sweet Orange’.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany and Galder, Gran Canaria, Spain. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new medium-sized Impatiens cultivars with an early to medium flowering response and large rounded flowers with attractive coloration.
The new Impatiens originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during the spring of 1999 of a proprietary seedling selection of Impatiens hawkeri identified as code number K98-4090-10, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Danharflm, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Fisnics Sweet Orange was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Galder, Gran Canaria, Spain in April, 2000.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in Galder, Gran Canaria, Spain, since July, 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Fisnics Sweet Orange’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fisnics Sweet Orange’ as a new and distinct Impatiens cultivar:
1. Outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; medium to tall growth habit.
2. Freely branching and freely flowering habit.
3. Very dark green-colored foliage.
4. Large, nearly rounded, light and darker orange bi-colored flowers that are positioned above and beyond the foliage.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens were slightly smaller than plants of the female parent selection.
2. Leaves of plants of the new Impatiens were darker green in color than leaves of plants of the female parent selection.
3. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens were light and darker orange bi-colored whereas flowers of plants of the female parent selection were white and deep red bi-colored.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Danharflm. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Danharflm in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens were slightly larger than plants of the cultivar Danharflm.
2. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens were slightly larger and flatter than flowers of plants of the cultivar Danharflm.
3. Flowers of plants of the new Impatiens were light and darker orange bi-colored whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Danharflm were solid orange red in color.
Plants of the new Impatiens can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Kimbu, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/765,323, abandoned. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Kimbu in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens were larger than plants of the cultivar Kimbu.
2. Plants of the new Impatiens had darker green-colored foliage than plants of the cultivar Kimbu.
3. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Kimbu.
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. 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 ‘Fisnics Sweet Orange’ grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The cultivar Fisnics Sweet 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 photograph, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Germany, under commercial production practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. Rooted young plants were planted in 12-cm containers in late February and the aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements were taken about 11 weeks later in early May. During the production of the plants, day temperatures were about 18 to 22° C. and night temperatures were about 16 to 18° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
