Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunrekokuri' originated as a branch mutation of the proprietary Torenia variety '06-13-1', discovered in an isolated area at Yokaichi, Shiga, Japan in August 2008. The discovered plant was propagated by cuttings and grown in pots in the glasshouse. A trial was carried out from February to October 2009 to assess the botanical characteristics of the new Torenia. In conclusion the new variety was named 'Sunrekokuri'.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Sunrekokuri' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring-summer 2012, in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings transplanted into 11 cm pots on April 24, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 4, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
