Origin & Breeding History: 'Visinfcrim' was the product of a planned breeding program developed by the breeder, Ludwig Kientzler, in Gensingen, Germany. The objectives of the program were to create a new range of New Guinea Impatiens varieties which have large flowers and a vigorous habit. 'Visinfcrim' originated from a controlled cross conducted in Gensingen, Germany, in October of 2002 between the female parent designated '00-0201' and the male parent designated '01-732'. It was selected from the resulting progeny in April of 2003 based on its growth habit, branching, foliage colour, flower size and flower number.
Tests & Trials: The comparative test and trial of 'Visinfcrim' was conducted in a poly-house during the summer of 2006 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 15 plants of each variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 23-25, 2006. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on August 11, 2006. All colour determinations were made using the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart 2001.
