'Sunmaref TP-P' is a pot verbena variety with a pendulous growth habit and no stem pubescence. The leaves are dark green and finely pinnatifid with no pubescence on the upper or lower surfaces.

Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunmaref TP-P' originated from crossing 'Rainbowcarpet Brightpurple' as the female parent to a wild type of verbena plant, native to Brazil as the pollen parent. The original cross took place in 1988 . From the resulting seedlings of this cross, 20 were selected and used as the female parent in a cross with 'Rainbowcarpet Red' obtained from Takii Seed & Seedling Corp. as the pollen parent. From this crossing three seedlings were selected, propagated by cuttings and then grown in a flower bedding and planter trial in the spring of 1989. One of the plants was then selected and determined to be distinguishable from any other variety of verbena. This plant was named 'Sunmaref TP-P'. The work in the development of 'Sunmaref TP-P' was conducted at the Research Centre of Suntory Ltd., Osaka, Japan, and at Hakushu Nursery Centre of Suntory Ltd., Yamanashi-ken, Japan.
Tests & Trials: Tests and trials for 'Sunmaref TP-P' were conducted in a greenhouse at Norseco Inc., Boisbriand, Quebec during the summer of 2000. The trials consisted of nine plants of each variety, grown in 25 cm hanging pots (3 plants per pot). Measured characteristics were based on a minimum of 10 measurements.
