The F1 plants were evaluated in Misato, Japan in an open ?eld trial. The criteria for plant selection included ?ower color, strong root system and com

susceptibility has been observed.
‘SAKIMP012’ is similar to the commercial Impatiens there are differences as listed in the table below:
COMPARISON WITH PARENTAL AND KNOWN CULTIVARS
TABLE 1 Comparison of Characteristics between ‘SAKIMPOlZ’ and ‘Misato FG3’
‘SAKMIMP012’ differs from the female parent, ‘NG
02WM1 ’, an unpatented proprietary Impatiens plant, in that ‘SAKIMP012’ has red-purple ?owers with light purple eyes, while ‘NG-OZWMl ’ has orange ?owers. Additionally,
‘SAKIMP012’ has a compact growth habit, while ‘NH 02WM1’ has a branching growth habit. ‘SAKIMP012’ differs from the male parent, ‘NG-OlH
9A’, an unpatented proprietary Impatiens plant in that ‘SAKIMP012’ has red-purple ?owers with light purple eyes, while ‘NG-0lH-9A’ has Pink-Lilac ?owers. Additionally, ‘SAKIMP012’ has a compact growth habit, while ‘NG-OlH 9A’ has a branching growth habit.
