Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunparacoho' originated from a controlled pollination in 2004 between the female parent, proprietary variety 'M-7', and the male parent, variety 'M-1', in an isolated area of the Omi R&D Center of Suntory Flowers Ltd. located in Shiga, Japan. Seeds resulting from the cross were germinated, grown to maturity, and in October 2005, one plant was selected. This plant was propagated by cutting and grown in pots. A trial was conducted from April to November 2006 during which the botanical characteristics were examined. It was concluded that 'Sunparacoho' was distinguishable from any other Mandevilla varieties, and uniform and stable in its characteristics.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Sunparacoho' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2010/0674, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, Angers, France. The trials were conducted by Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands, in 2011. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
