BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of
the Royal Horticultural Society of London.
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of
Impatiens, botanically known as Impatiens walleriana.
Plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from the plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics: Plants of the new Impatiens have pink salmon ?owers with
The new Impatiens is a product of a planned breeding program conducted in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The new
Impatiens cultivar has a ?at and spreading growing type, is ?oriferous with large pink salmon ?owers with a very distinct blotch in the ?ower, and has attractive dark green foliage. The present cultivar originated from a cross-pollination made in 2005, of a proprietary Impatiens walleriana selection

plants of the female parent have light salmon ?owers with a small blotch and long ?ower stems. Plants of the new Impatiens differ primarily from the male 15
