ABSTRACT:
Genus and species:
Impatiens walleriana.
Variety denomination: ‘Didi Appleblossom’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of
Impatiens
, botanically known as
Impatiens walleriana,
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Didi Appleblossom’. The new cultivar is asexually reproduced from vegetative cuttings and tissue culture resulting from the cross of the seed/pod parent IDT-32-49, a white proprietary line that is unnamed and unpatented×IN-1787-7, a light salmon-rose proprietary line that is unnamed and unpatented.
‘Didi Appleblossom’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new impatiens plants with soft pink colored flowers, compact habit, good basal branching and moderately vigorous growth.
The new cultivar was created in 2000 in Andijk, The Netherlands and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif., Andijk, The Netherlands and Guatemala over a two and half year period. The plant has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif., Litchfield, Mich. and Andijk, The Netherlands. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
