Abstract

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

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Fisnics Sweet Red.
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 Red’.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany and Moncarapacho, Portugal. 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 summer of 1998 of the Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Alexis, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/765,324, abandoned, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary seedling selection of Impatiens hawkeri identified as code number K98-4090-11, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Fisnics Sweet Red was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Moncarapacho, Portugal in April, 1999.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in Moncarapacho, Portugal, since July, 1999, 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 Red’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fisnics Sweet Red’ as a new and distinct Impatiens cultivar:
    • 1. Outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; medium growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching and freely flowering habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored foliage.
    • 4. Medium to large, rounded, light pink and red 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, the cultivar Alexis. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens differed from the plants of the Alexis in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens were larger and more vigorous than plants of the Alexis.
    • 2. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger and lighter green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Alexis.
    • 3. Plants of the new Impatiens and the cultivar Alexis differed in flower coloration.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens were shorter and denser than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Leaves of plants of the new Impatiens were slightly lighter green in color than leaves of plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Impatiens and the male parent selection differed in flower coloration.
Plants of the new Impatiens can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Neptis, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,321. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Hillscheid, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Neptis in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens were shorter than plants of the cultivar Neptis.
    • 2. Leaves of plants of the new Impatiens were narrower and darker green in color than leaves of plants of the cultivar Neptis.
    • 3. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Neptis.
    • 4. Plants of the new Impatiens and the cultivar Neptis differed slightly in flower coloration.
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 Red’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The cultivar Fisnics Sweet Red 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.
