Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunparadai' originated as a naturally occurring branch mutation of 'Sunmadecrim'. The new Mandevilla was discovered in May 2005 in a controlled environment in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. The selected plant was propagated by cuttings and grown in pots. A trial was carried out and the botanical characteristics of that plant were examined. As a result, it was concluded that this Mandevilla plant was distinguishable from any other varieties and it was named 'Sunparadai'.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Sunparadai' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2007/1789, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, The Netherlands in 2009. Colour determinations were made using the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
