Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant named ‘Tamar White Improved’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading growth habit; mounded plant form; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; large white-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Impatiens hawkeri.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Tamar White Improved’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Tamar White Improved’.
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 create new freely-branching New Guinea Impatiens cultivars with freely flowering habit and large attractive flowers.
The new Impatiens originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2000 in De Lier, The Netherlands of the Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Tamar White, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,370, as the female, or seed, parent with the Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Harmony White, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Impatiens was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in De Lier, The Netherlands in 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new Impatiens by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in De Lier, The Netherlands since 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Tamar White Improved has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Tamar White Improved’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tamar White Improved’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens:
-
- 1. Upright and outwardly spreading growth habit; mounded plant form.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Large white-colored flowers.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Tamar White. Plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the cultivar Tamar White in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Impatiens are more vigorous and larger than plants of the cultivar Tamar White.
- 2. Plants of the new Impatiens have larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Tamar White.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Harmony White. Plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the cultivar Harmony White in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Impatiens are more compact than plants of the cultivar Harmony White.
- 2. Plants of the new Impatiens have smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Harmony White.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the Impatiens cultivar Moorea, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,147. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Moorea in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Impatiens were more uniform than plants of the cultivar Moorea.
- 2. Plants of the new Impatiens had darker green-colored foliage than plants of the cultivar Moorea.
- 3. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Moorea.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Impatiens, 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 top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Tamar White Improved’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Tamar White Improved’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in De Lier, The Netherlands, in 12-cm containers and under commercial practice during the summer in a glass-covered greenhouse with day and night temperatures averaging 18° C. Rooted young plants had been growing for about ten weeks when the photographs and description were taken. 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.
