Impatiens plant

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of New Guinea Impatiens plant known by the cultivar name Cheyenne, and discovered by me in commercial greenhouses in Fremont, Calif. Cheyenne isn't close to any of the varieties presently on the market. Cheyenne is particularly characterized by dark green foliage with a tint of red (adding to the darkness of the foliage); very floriferous; a medium bright red flower with a distinctive light eye; different color breaks (as many as 6) on the flowers with the three most common ones being rose-red, flecked red on white and orange; and an upright growth habit with moderate stem size.

I claim:
