ABSTRACT:

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed:
Impatiens walleriana.
Variety denomination: Danchelired.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant, botanically known as
Impatiens walleriana
, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Danchelired’.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel. The female parent is FRA-122 (unpatented, proprietary variety). The male parent is BGA-111 (unpatented, proprietary variety). ‘Danchelired’ was discovered and selected by the inventor, Gabriel Danziger, as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by leaves cutting was first performed in April, 1999 in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new cultivar reproduces true-to-type.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Danchelired’ which in combination distinguish this Impatiens as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. compact growth habit;
2. small flowers;
3. small, green leaves; and
4. red flowers.
‘Danchelired’ has 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 daylength without any change in the genotype of the plant.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Danchelired’ is the Impatiens variety ‘Fify Red’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,753), commercially known as ‘Firefly Red’.
