ABSTRACT:
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed:
Impatiens walleriana.
Variety denomination: HGI-1065-5.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant, botanically known as
Impatiens walleriana
, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘HGI-1065-5’.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in the village of Hem, the Netherlands. The female parent is ‘IB-19-2’ (unpatented). The male parent is ‘IB-7-2’ (unpatented) ‘HGI-1065-5’ was discovered and selected by the inventor Johann J. G. Sijm, in November 1999, as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in the village of Hem, the Netherlands.
‘HGI -1065-5’ a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor and selected in a controlled cultivated environment in the village of Hem, the Netherlands. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings used in propagation was first performed in December 1999, in the village of Hem, the Netherlands and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘HGI-1065-5’ which in combination distinguish this Impatiens as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact growth;
2. Small flowering;
3. Small leaves; and
4. Intense red color
‘HGI-1065-5’ as not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without any change in the genotype of the plant. The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in the village of Hem, the Netherlands under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘HGI-1065-5’ is the cultivar ‘Firelfy Red’. The overall habit and appearance of ‘HGI-1065-5’ and ‘Firefly Red’ are comparable, however the flowers of ‘HGI-1065-5’ are slightly larger, 2.5 cm in both length and width, and RHS 45B in color whereas the flower size of ‘Firefly Red’ is 2.1 cm in length and 2 cm in width with a flower color of RHS 45A.
In comparison to the instant plant, both parental cultivars have a more vigorous plant habit. When grown under the same conditions in a greenhouse as potted plants, the parental cultivars are 50% taller than ‘HGI-1065-5’. The flower color of parental cultivars differ from ‘HGI-1065-5’. Flowers of the female parental cultivar are RHS N30A; flowers of the male parental cultivar are RHS N30B, and are larger, 4-5 cm in diameter.
