  • Patent number: PP10171
    Abstract: A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named `BFP-698 Cherry` is provided.

The new cultivar forms large bright cherry red flowers that display an iridescent appearance. The foliage is glossy dark green in coloration. An attractive compact upright mounted growth habit is exhibited. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `BFP-467 Cherry Red` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,520).
