ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinctive cultivar of Impatiens plant, botanically known as
Impatiens Hawkeri
, commercially known as New Guinea Impatiens, and known by the cultivar name ‘Ovation Lavender’. Ovation Lavender was developed in a controlled breeding program by crossing Mikkelsen Seedling No. 94-546-1 (seed parent) with Mikkelsen Seedling No. 95- 1116-4 (pollen parent). Both parents are proprietary breeding lines which have not been sold or made publicly available in this country.
Asexual reproduction carried out by the inventor in Lompoc, Calif. by terminal or stem cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stabilized and are reproduced true to type in successive propagations.
The following combination of characteristics distinguish the new Impatiens from both its parent varieties and other cultivated Impatiens of this type known and used in the floriculture industry:

4. Ovation Lavender has a mounded growth habit while Celebration Light Lavender Improved and Toga have a more upright growth habit.
5. Ovation Lavender is intermediate in height with Toga being more compact and Celebration Light Lavender Improved being taller.
6. Ovation Lavender has the smallest leaves with the average mature leaf being 8 to 9 cm long while Toga has 10 to 11 cm long leaves and Celebration Light Lavender Improved leaves are 12 to 13 cm long.
