Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Synmar Pinka' originated from a controlled cross conducted in February 2006 in Alva, Florida, USA. The female parent was a proprietary seedling designated 02-M101 and the male parent was a proprietary seedling designated 00-M401. The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in Alva, Florida and a single plant was selected from the progeny in October 2006, based on criteria for flower colour and plant habit.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Synmar Pinka' were conducted in an outdoor irrigated trial during the summer of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants of each variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 20 cm pots on June 29, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on September 21, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
