Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant named ‘Balfafusimp’ characterized by its fuchsia-colored flowers, dark green-colored foliage, and vigorous, trailing growth habit.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Impatiens×hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Balfafusimp’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant botanically known as Impatiens×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balfafusimp’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Cartago, Costa Rica during March 2003. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Impatiens cultivars with numerous large flowers, attractive flower colors, and trailing, freely basal branching growth habit.
The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar was an unnamed proprietary Impatiens×hybrida breeding selection, not patented, characterized by its lilac-colored flowers and semi-prostrate growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar was a bulk of Impatiens Hawkeri pollen collected from the Java Series F1 hybrid New Guinea impatiens, not patented, characterized by its medium vigor and a bushy well branched habit. The pollen was collected from several plants having a variety of flower colors and may have included orange, red, salmon, red and salmon bicolor, rose and lilac bicolor, lavender, cherry red, and white. The new Impatiens was discovered and selected by the inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during April 2004 in a controlled environment at Cartago, Costa Rica.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since April 2004 at Cartago, Costa Rica and West Chicago, Ill. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Balfafusimp’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant:
-
- 1. Fuschia-colored flowers;
- 2. Dark green-colored foliage; and
- 3. Vigorous, trailing growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in flower color and growth habit and from plants of the male parent primarily in growth habit.
Of the many commercially available Impatiens cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is ‘Balfafusia’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,588. However, in side by side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balfafusia’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar are taller than plants of ‘Balfafusia’;
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar have larger flowers as measured by flower diameter than plants of ‘Balfafusia’; and
- 3. Plants of the new cultivar have more flowers per plant than plants of ‘Balfafusia’.
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 ‘Balfafusimp’. The plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 10 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
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.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined on Aug. 1, 2005 between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. under natural light conditions, in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe plants produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and grown in a double polycarbonate-covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown at West Chicago, Ill. in 10 cm pots for 10 weeks utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 68° F. to 80° F. (20° C. to 26° C.) during the day and approximately 60° F. to 65° F. (15° C. to 18° C.) during the night. Greenhouse light levels of 4,000 to 7.000 footcandles were maintained during the day.
