Impatiens plant

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant known by the cultivar name Chippewa, and discovered by me in commercial greenhouses in Fremont, Calif. Chippewa is closest in characteristics to Creek, but has a more upright growth habit; much more floriferous than Creek; both flowers and foliage are lighter than Creek; Chippewa is variegated, depending on light intensity and age of plant; and the candy striping shows on the light pink flowers.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct form of Impatiens plant as described and illustrated, known by the cultivar name Chippewa, that has variegation depending on light intensity and age of cutting; a candy striped light pink flower; many flowers; a very upright growth habit; and a slight foliar reddening.
