Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Visinfscar’, characterized by its rounded and upright plant form; vigorous and freely branching growth habit; bushy appearance; dark green-colored foliage; freely flowering habit with flowers held above and beyond the foliage; and large scarlet red-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Visinfscar.
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 Visinfscar.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Gensingen, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new vigorous New Guinea Impatiens cultivars with large flowers and interesting and unique flower and foliage colors.
The new Impatiens originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in September, 2001, of a proprietary Impatiens hawkeri selection identified as code number 01-206, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with a proprietary Impatiens hawkeri selection identified as 01-961, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The cultivar Visinfscar was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Gensingen, Germany in March, 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings at Gensingen, Germany, since March, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Visinfscar’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Visinfscar’ as a new and distinct Impatiens cultivar:
-
- 1. Rounded and upright plant form.
- 2. Vigorous and freely branching growth habit; bushy appearance.
- 3. Dark green-colored foliage.
- 4. Freely flowering habit with flowers held above and beyond the foliage.
- 5. Large scarlet red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Impatiens have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Impatiens are more freely flowering than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Impatiens are more vigorous than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Impatiens are more uniform than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the cultivar Timor, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,144. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gensingen, Germany, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Timor in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Impatiens were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Timor.
- 2. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Timor.
- 3. Flower color of plants of the new Impatiens was more intense than flower color of plants of the cultivar Timor.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Impatiens.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Visinfscar’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Visinfscar’.
The cultivar Visinfscar 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 gentoype. The aforementioned photographs and the following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., during the summer under commercial practice in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse providing 50% light reduction with day temperatures ranging from 21 to 35° C. and night temperatures ranging from 18 to 24° C. Plants used in the photographs and following description were about ten weeks old and grown in 15.25-cm containers with one plant per container.
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.
