Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant named Blues, characterized by its medium-sized, round light pink flowers; compact and freely branched growth habit; moderate growth rate; and dark green and glossy non-variegated foliage.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinctive cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens, botanically konwn as Impatiens hawkeri, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Blues.
The new cultivar was developed by me in a controlled breeding program at Danziger--"Dan" Flower Farm, Mishmar Hashiva, Israel, by crossing the female, or seed, parent identified as Impatiens hawkeri selection DAN H-279 with the male, or pollen, parent identified as Impatiens hawkeri selection DAN 206-P. Both parents are nonpatented selections developed by me in a controlled breeding program and used only as breeding parents.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken by me at Mishmar Hashiva, Israel, has shown that the combination of features of this new Impatiens are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following characteristics are repeatedly observed and are determined to be the distinctive and unique characteristics of Blues. These characteristics in combination distinguish Blues from both its parent varieties and other cultivated New Guinea Impatiens used in the floriculture industry:
1. Medium-sized, round light pink flowers.
2. Compact growth habit.
3. Freely branching habit.
4. Moderate growth rate.
5. Dark green and glossy non-variegated foliage.
The new cultivar is most similar to the patented Impatiens hawkeri cultivar Delias (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,838) in flower color. However Blues differs from Delias in its lighter pink flower color, smaller flower size, and more compact growth habit compared to Delias.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance and flower color of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. The photograph constitutes a top perpective view of a typical potted plant of Blues.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Mishmar Hashiva, Israel, under normal commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse with minimum night temperatures of 12° to 14° C. during the winter and maximum temperatures of 35° C. during the summer. Average light levels in the greenhouse in 40,000 lux. Blues has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength.
