Impatiens plant

Abstract

A novel impatiens variety having a strong, rigid, arching growth habit and an attractive contrast between the variegated foliage and large pink blossoms.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens known by the cultivar name Liberty and particularly as to uniqueness by the combined characteristics of a very floriferous appearance due to the terminal whorl of leaves developing close to the previous node and branching frequently at several nodes on the same stem; the top and bottom petals having a nearly white throat at the base; relatively wide and variegated leaves; generally pink flower color and above average flower size; strong, rigid growth which develops an arching, flowering pattern; ease of propagation in quantity, and preferred growth in a very lightly shaded environment.
