Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Fisnics Lil’ particularly characterized by the combined features of uniform, brilliant purple flower color; large, round flowers on relatively long peduncles; intense medium green foliage, relatively large leaves; medium to tall, round and bushy plant habit; early to medium flowering response; and suitable both for sale as a flowering pot plant and as a relatively weather tolerant outdoor plant.
Description
Genus and species of the plant claimed: Impatiens hawkeri.
Variety denomination: ‘Fisnics Lil’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Fisnics Lil’.
‘Fisnics Lil’ is a product of a planned breeding program and originated from a hybridization made by the inventor, Birgit C. Hofmann, in a controlled breeding program in Hillscheid, Germany, in 2000.
The female parent was the commercial variety ‘Logia’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,935, under the variety denomination ‘Kilogia’), characterized by red-purple flower color, medium green foliage, and roughly medium sized plant habit.
The male parent was the variety ‘Celebration Lavender Glow’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,652, under the denomination ‘Balcelavgo’), having light purple flower color, medium green foliage, relatively small leaves, and medium sized plant habit.
‘Fisnics Lil’ was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by the inventor in April 2001 in a greenhouse in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain.
The first act of vegetative or asexual reproduction of ‘Fisnics Lil’ was accomplished when cuttings were taken from the initial selection in July 2001 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain, by, or under the supervision of, Birgit Hofmann.
Horticultural examination of plants grown from these cuttings initiated in spring of 2002 in Hillscheid, Germany, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Fisnics Lil’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new cultivar reproduces true to type.
‘Fisnics Lil’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length, without, however, any variation in genotype. The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Fisnics Lil’, which in combination distinguish this Impatiens as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Uniform, brilliant purple flower color;
- 2. Large, round flowers on relatively long peduncles;
- 3. Intense medium green foliage, relatively large leaves;
- 4. Medium to tall, round and bushy plant habit;
- 5. Early to medium flowering response; and
- 6. Suitable both for sale as a flowering pot plant and as a relatively weather tolerant outdoor plant.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Fisnics Lil’ are the parental varieties ‘Kilogia’ and ‘Balcelavgo’, and the variety ‘Papete’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,457).
In comparison to ‘Kilogia’, ‘Fisnics Lil’ has a more bluish hue of flower color, larger flowers, larger leaves, and somewhat stronger stems, while the overall plant size is roughly similar.
In comparison to ‘Balcelavgo’, ‘Fisnics Lil’ has deeper purple colored and somewhat larger flowers, and larger leaves.
In comparison to ‘Papete’, ‘Fisnics Lil’ has distinctly larger and flatter, not cup-shaped, flowers, similar or somewhat taller plant habit, and leaves with a faintly rippled structure, while those of ‘Kipete’ are often rugose.
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Fisnics Lil’ with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
The photograph drawing shows a side view of a typical ‘Fisnics Lil’ plant.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). The color values were determined indoors from plants grown in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The description is based on plants which were planted as rooted cuttings in 12 cm pots in late February 2003, and then grown in the greenhouse at a minimum temperature of 16° C. Most observations and measurements were made after the beginning of flowering in mid May, when the plants were about 12 weeks old.
