Impatiens plant -- Navajo

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant known by the cultivar name Navajo, and discovered by me in commercial greenhouses in Fremont, Calif. Navajo is closest in characteristics to USDA Arabesque but is particularly characterized by rich red-green follage with a very distinct golden brown to off-yellow variegation; a medium size, rose-red flower with a light eye; a very erect, thick, stiff stem; and very good breaking action, making an excellent pot and/or bedding plant.

I claim:
