Abstract

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

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Tamar Lavender.
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 ‘Tamar Lavender’.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new Impatiens cultivars with an large rounded flowers with attractive foliage and flower coloration.
The new Impatiens originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1998 with an unnamed proprietary seedling selection of Impatiens hawkeri, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Papete, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,457, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Tamar Lavender was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in De Lier, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in De Lier, The Netherlands since 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 ‘Tamar Lavender’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tamar Lavender’ as a new and distinct Impatiens cultivar:
    • 1. Upright, broadly outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching and freely flowering habit.
    • 3. Very dark green-colored foliage.
    • 4. Large, mounded, light pink and red purple 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 De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens and the female parent selection differed in leaf coloration as plants of the female parent selection had green-colored foliage.
    • 2. Plants of the new Impatiens and the female parent selection differed in flower coloration as plants of the female parent selection had red purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Papete. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Papete in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens and and the cultivar Papete differed in leaf coloration as plants of the cultivar Papete had green-colored foliage.
    • 2. Plants of the new Impatiens and the cultivar Papete differed in flower coloration as plants of the cultivar Papete had red purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Impatiens can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Tamar Violet, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Tamar Violet in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens and the cultivar Tamar Violet differed in leaf coloration as plants of the cultivar Tamar Violet had lighter green-colored foliage.
    • 2. Plants of the new Impatiens and the cultivar Tamar Violet differed in flower coloration as plants of the cultivar Tamar Violet had purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Impatiens can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Tamar Light Lavender, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Tamar Light Lavender in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Impatiens and the cultivar Tamar Light Lavender differed in leaf coloration as plants of the cultivar Tamar Light Lavender had lighter green-colored foliage.
    • 2. Plant of the new Impatiens had larger and more rounded flowers than plants of the cultivar Tamar Light Lavender.
    • 3. Plant of the new Impatiens and the cultivar Tamar Light Lavender differed in flower coloration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 accurately describe the colors of the new Impatiens.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Tamar Lavender’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Tamar Lavender’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The cultivar Tamar Lavender 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 photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in De Lier, The Netherlands, under commercial production practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. Rooted young plants were planted in 12-cm containers and the aformentioned photograph and following observations and measurements were taken about eight to ten weeks later in June. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures were about 18 to 20° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
