Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Balcelichey’ characterized by its large bright red-colored flowers, dark green-colored foliage, uniform medium upright, mounded growth habit, and excellent basal branching.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Impatiens hawkeri.
Variety denomination: ‘Balcelichey’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens plant botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balcelichey’.
The new cultivar was developed by the inventor in a controlled breeding program during October 1999 at Arroyo Grande, Calif. The objective of the breeding program was to develop New Guinea Impatiens cultivars with numerous large flowers, excellent basal branching and upright compact to moderate growth habits.
The female (seed) parent of ‘Balcelichey’ was the proprietary Impatiens hawkeri selection designated ‘BFP-2069’ (not patented) characterized by its upright growth habit, cherry rose-colored flowers and medium green-colored foliage. The male (pollen) parent of ‘Balcelichey’ was the proprietary Impatiens hawkeri selection designated ‘LV36NG760’ (not patented) characterized by its upright habit, dark purple-colored flowers, and dark green-colored foliage. ‘Balcelichey’ was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination in April of 2000 at Arroyo Grande, Calif. and initially designated ‘2835-12’.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings in West Chicago, Ill., since 2000, has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual reproduction.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without, however, any variance in genotype.
It was repeatedly found that the cultivar of the present invention:
-
- 1. Exhibits large round red-colored flowers,
- 2. Forms dark green-colored foliage,
- 3. Exhibits a good basal branching character, and
- 4. Exhibits a medium, upright mounded growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in foliage color and from plants of the male parent primarily in flower color.
Of the many commercially available New Guinea Impatiens cultivars known to the inventor, ‘Balcelichey’ is most similar to ‘Martinique’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,149). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in West Chicago, Ill., plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of ‘Martinique’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar are more vigorous than plants of ‘Martinique’.
- 2. Flowers of the plants of the new cultivar are larger than flowers of the plants of ‘Martinique’.
- 3. Plants of the new cultivar have less pubescence on the leaves and stems than plants of ‘Martinique’.
The accompanying photographs show as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Balcelichey’. The plants were grown from rooted cuttings for 11 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 1995 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined on Aug. 15, 2003 between 1:00 and 1:45 p.m. under natural daylight conditions.
The following measurements and comparisons describe plants produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and grown under greenhouse conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 11 weeks utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 68°-75° F. during the day and approximately 58°-65° F. during the night. Greenhouse light levels were maintained at approximately 4,000-7,000 footcandles during the day.
