Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea impatiens cultivar named BFP-347 Red is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated BFP-199 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated 4039-2 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms large red flowers displaying an iridescent appearance and has medium green foliage. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the Anaea cultivar (U.S. Plants Pat. No. 7,840).
