Origin & Breeding History: 'Misato FG4' orginated from the cross done in 2002 in Misato, Japan of proprietary impatiens breeding lines 02-DC as the female parent and 02-2 as the male parent. During the summer of 2004 the population developed was evaluated outdoors in a field trial. A single plant was selected based on its flower colour, tolerance to heat and cold, vigorous rooting, mounding growth habit, and overall plant vigour. The variety was also evaluated during the summer of 2004 in an outdoor trial in Athens, Georgia, USA, and then again in Salinas, California, USA.
Tests & Trials: Trials were conducted during the summer of 2006 in Oxford Station, Ontario. Trials consisted of 15 plants of each variety individually grown in 10cm pots in a poly house. Observations and measurements were taken on 10 plants of each variety.
