Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunphlomine' originated from the crossing of a breeding line '9Ph-17' as the female parent with the cultivar 'Palona Carmine' as the pollen parent. The crossing took place at Omi R&D Center, Suntory Flowers Ltd. in May 1999. A seedling was selected and propagated by cuttings and tested by flower potting and budding from April 2001, at Omi R&D Center.
Tests & Trials: PBR trials were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2007 in St. Thomas, Ontario. Trials included 15 plants of the candidate and reference variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 1, 2007. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 27, 2007. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
