Double Impatiens plant named `Cherry Vanilla`

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Double Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens walleriana, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Cherry Vanilla.

#The new cultivar is a spontaneous mutation of the seed-propagated Impatiens walleriana Rosette Mixture. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in a controlled environment in Palmetto, Fla., as a single plant among a population of plants of Rosette Mixture. This single plant consistently formed red and white bicolor flowers that were fully double.

#Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Palmetto, Fla., has shown that the uniqe features of this new Double Impatiens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.

#The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and flower color of the new Double Impatiens, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.

#The first photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of the new Double Impatiens.

#The second photograph comprises a close-up view of the flowers and foliage of the new Double Impatiens.

#The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in West Chicago, Ill.

#In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.

#Botanical classification: Impatiens walleriana cultivar Cherry Vanilla.
