Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named Light Lavender II is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the Antares cultivar (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated 4050-15 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms large light lavender flowers with a white eye which display an iridescent appearance, solid medium green foliage, strong basal branching, and a medium growth habit. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the Light Lavender cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,671).
