New Guinea Impatiens named 'Purple Star'

摘要

A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named 'Purple Star' is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated '198' (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by the 'Tonga' cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,408). The new cultivar forms large bicolored lavender/purple flowers that display an iridescent appearance. The foliage is dark bronze-green in coloration with a red midvien. An attractive medium upright mounded growth habit is exhibited. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the parent 'Tonga' cultivar.
