Origin & Breeding History: 'DWSAHYB03' originated from a controlled cross conducted in June of 2017 in Alajuela, Costa Rica. The cross was made between the female parent designated ‘Campino Pitaya' and the male parent designated ‘SunDome Pink'. The new variety 'DWSAHYB03' was selected in October of 2020 based on its plant habit, plant growth, flower colour, and flowering period. Asexual reproduction of 'DWSAHYB03' was first conducted by cuttings in October of 2020 in Mustang Ridge, Texas, USA.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'DWSAHYB03' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2025 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants of the candidate and reference varieties. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 18, 2025. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on July 31, 2025. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart. Mean differences were significant at the 5% confidence probability level based on a paired Student's t-test.
