ABSTRACT:

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION:
IMPATIENS WALLERIANA
CULTIVAR BODDBLBRP.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Double Impatiens plant, botanically known as
Impatiens walleriana,
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Boddblbrp’.
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lompoc, Calif. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new compact Double Impatiens cultivars with large fully double flowers, excellent branching, and attractive flower and foliage colors.
The new Impatiens originated from a cross made by the Inventor in September, 1999, of a proprietary
Impatiens walleriana
selection identified as 9IM1500-2, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with a proprietary
Impatiens walleriana
selection identified as 9IM1784-5, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The cultivar Boddblbrp was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Lompoc, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Lompoc, Calif. since 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Boddblbrp’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Boddblbrp’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact, mounded and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely basal branching habit.
3. Dark green leaves; densely foliated.
4. Large light pink-colored flowers.
5. Fully double flower form.
6. Freely flowering habit.
7. Flowers positioned above and beyond the foliage.
Plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the female parent in flower form and coloration as flowers of plants of the female parent are semi-double in form and have white-colored petals. Plants of the new Impatiens differ from plants of the male parent in flower form and coloration as flowers of plants of the male parent are single and have red-colored petals.
Plants of the new Impatiens can be compared to plants of the Impatiens cultivar Boddblpchfr, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/684,570. Plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from plants of the cultivar Boddblpchfr in flower coloration.
The new Impatiens can also be compared to the
Impatiens walleriana
cultivar Pink Ruffle, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,616. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Impatiens differed from plants of the cultivar Pink Ruffle in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Impatiens were more compact, had shorter internodes and were denser than plants of the cultivar Pink Ruffle.
2. Plants of the new Impatiens were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Pink Ruffle.
3. Plants of the new Impatiens had larger leaves than plants of the cultivar Pink Ruffle.
4. Plants of the new Impatiens were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Pink Ruffle.
5. Plants of the new Impatiens had slightly smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Pink Ruffle.
6. Flower color of plants of the new Impatiens was lighter pink than flower color of plants of the cultivar Pink Ruffle.
