Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named BSR-181 Bright Scarlet is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated BSR-12 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated BSR-27 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms attractive very large bright scarlet blossoms combined with a strong basal branching character and a compact upright mounded growth habit and can be readily distinguished from the Aenea cultivar (U.S. Plant patent application pending).
