Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Sunjiradai' originated from a controlled cross between proprietary varieties 'FC02Or3204Or32-1' as the female parent, and 'FCCr3604Or32-2' as the male parent. The cross was conducted in May 2006 in an isolated area at the Omi Reseach and Development Center of Suntory Flowers Ltd. located in Higashiomi-shi, Shiga, Japan. Resulting seed was germinated and grown to maturity. In August 2007, one plant was selected in a controlled environment at Narusawa-mura, Minamituru-gun, Yamanashi, Japan. The selection of 'Sunjiradai' was based on its growth habit and flower color. The selected plant was further propagated and grown in trials from April to August 2008 in order to examine its botanical characteristics.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Sunjiradai' is based on the UPOV Report of Technical Examination, application number 2012/0045, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Anger, France. The trials were conducted by ILVO-Eenheid Plant in Merelbeke, Belgium in 2012 and 2013. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
