Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named BSR-221 Electric Pink 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 very large red-purple blossoms displaying an iridescent appearance combined with a strong basal branching character and an upright mounded growth habit and can be readily distinguished from the Aglia cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,684).
