Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named `BFP-467 Cherry Red` is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the `BFP-364 Deep Coral` cultivar (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 338,162, filed Nov. 8, 1994) was pollinated by a plant designated BFP-307 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms attractive large round cherry red flowers displaying an iridescent appearance, forms moderately dark green foliage, exhibits a good basal branching character, and exhibits a medium-vigorous upright growth habit. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `Martinique` cultivar (non-patented in the United States).
