Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens wallerana, and named `Tropical Orange` is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated 447-1 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated 52-2-1 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar is early blooming and forms in abundance attractive fully double orange blooms that possess a somewhat iridescent appearance. The foliage is dark green. The plant exhibits a good basal-branching character and exhibits a medium upright mounded growth habit. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `Rosebud Orange` cultivar (non-patented in the United States) in view of the more compact growth habit and slightly larger flowers that are provided.
