Summary: 'Kirimaji Veiny Pink' is a petunia variety which has narrower leaves, shorter sepals and a longer pedicel than the reference variety 'Sunrove'. The colour of the corolla lobes is very similar in the two varieties. However, the veins in the corolla tube of 'Kirimaji Veiny Pink' are a darker purple-pink colour which makes the inner side of the tube appear darker than the corolla tube of the reference variety. The flowers of 'Kirimaji Veiny Pink' have a slightly smaller diameter than those of 'Sunrove'.
