Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named `BFP-664 Lavender` is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the `Tahiti` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,601) was pollinated by the `Raspberry Rose` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,212). The new cultivar forms large dark lavender generally flat flowers with a light eye that display an iridescent appearance. The foliage is medium green in coloration. An attractive compact upright mounded growth habit is exhibited. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `BFP-661 Purple` cultivar (U.S. Plant Patent application Ser. No. 08/670,744, filed concurrently herewith) that is of the same parentage.
