Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named `Orange Crush` is provided.

No. 8,601). The new cultivar forms large true orange flowers with a fuchsia eye which display an iridescent appearance. The foliage is glossy and dark green in coloration with a red midvein. An attractive medium upright mounded growth habit is exhibited. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the parent `Timor` cultivar U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,144).
