Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named `BFP-650 Peach` is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated `6468-2` (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated `380` (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms large soft peach colored flowers having an eye of fuchsia and white that display an iridescent appearance. The foliage is dark bronze-green in coloration. An attractive compact upright mounded growth habit is exhibited. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `Bonfire Orange` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,398).
