Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Impatients plant, botanically known as Impatiens wallerana, and named `Lavender Orchid` is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated 359-1 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar is early blooming and forms in abundance attractive fully double lavender blooms that commonly include darker centers. The foliage is medium green. The plant exhibits a good basal-branching character and exhibits an upright mounded growth habit. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `Rosebud Lavender` cultivar (non-patented in the United States) in view of its larger flowers and larger leaves.
