Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Sunjodipi' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2013 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11.5 cm pots on April 10, 2013. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 30, 2013. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
