Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Double Impatiens plant named `Golden Sunrise`, characterized by its unique and stable light yellow and green variegated foliage; large orange flowers; consistently double and symmetrical flower form; numerous flowers per plant; freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit; low-growing, outwardly spreading to cascading, and mounted plant habit; suitable for hanging baskets and patio containers; and excellent landscape performance.

Description

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 cultivar name Golden Sunrise.
The new cultivar is a spontaneous branch mutation of the Impatiens walleriana cultivar Golden Girl (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 08/963,515, filed concurrently). The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in a controlled environment in Devon Meadows, Victoria, Australia in 1992, as a mutation of the dark pink-flowered cultivar Golden Girl. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at devon Meadows, Victoria, Australia, has shown that the unique features of this new Double Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Golden Sunrise`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new Double Impatiens as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Unique and stable light yellow and green variegated foliage.
2. Large orange flowers.
3. Consistently double and symmetrical flower form.
4. Numerous flowers per plant.
5. Freely branching, dense and bushy plant habit.
6. Low-growing, outwardly spreading to cascading, and mounded plant habit, suitable for hanging baskets and patio containers.
7. Excellent landscape performance.
The new Double Impatiens has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature and light level, without, however, any variance in genotype.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and flower color of the new Double Impatiens, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of the new Double Impatiens.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves and flowers of the new Double Impatiens. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisions describe plants grown under outdoor production conditions in 16.5-cm containers in Keller, Tex., in full and partial shade during the summer.
