Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named BSR-220 Bright Coral is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the Diane cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,683) was pollinated by a plant designated N2298-1 (nonpatented in the United States). The new cultivar forms attractive large bright coral blossoms displaying an iridescent appearance combined with a good basal branching character and an upright growth habit and can be readily distinguished from the Dangal cultivar U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,251).
