Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Ingmulwhi’ characterized by its small white colored flowers, very early flowering and very floriferous, with small foliage, good heat tolerance, nice spreading growth habit with excellent basal branching and good vigor.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Impatiens hawkeri.
Varietal denomination: ‘Ingmulwhi’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens plant botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Ingmulwhi.’
The new cultivar was developed in a controlled breeding program conducted by the inventor in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The new New Guinea Impatiens cultivar is very floriferous with small flowers and small foliage, early flowering on compact, spreading plant with good heat tolerance.
The new cultivar is propagated from cuttings resulting from the cross in September 1999 of the proprietary New Guinea Impatiens selection identified as ‘F 25-1’ as female parent and the proprietary New Guinea Impatiens selection identified as ‘F 25-2’ as male parent. ‘F 25-1’ is not commercially available and has not been patented. ‘F 25-2’ is not commercially available and has not been patented.
As a result of this cross the present cultivar was selected in September 2000 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, in Gilroy, Calif. and in Angers, France over a period of several years. The distinctive characteristics of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction. It takes 6 to 8 weeks to produce a finished plant, starting from a rooted plug and planted in a 12 cm pot, depending on the temperature.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Ingmulwhi.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ingmulwhi’ as a new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar:
    • 1. Small, white flowers
    • 2. Very early flowering with very floriferous habit
    • 3. Small foliage
    • 4. Compact, spreading habit and good heat tolerance
Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens differ primarily from the plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristic:
Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens have white flowers, whereas the plants of the female parent selection have salmon flowers.
Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens differ primarily from the plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristic:
Plants of the New Guinea Impatiens have white flowers, whereas the plants of the male parent selection have salmon flowers.
Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens can be compared to plants of ‘Kicabo,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,170. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Kicabo’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens have a more spreading habit, whereas the plants of cultivar ‘Kicabo’ have a more upright growing habit.
    • 2. Plants of the new New Guinea Impatiens have green leaves, whereas the plants of ‘Kicabo’ have dark green leaves.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new New Guinea Impatiens plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color showing being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new New Guinea Impatiens. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant history was taken on 30 week old plants, blossomed under natural light in the field.
Color readings were taken in the laboratory under ambient light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society of London.
