Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunvivaho' was developed at The Omi R&D Center of Suntory Flowers Ltd., Shiga, Japan. It was discovered as a naturally occurring mutation of verbena 'Sunvivabura', characterized by its pure white flowers, at Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, in October 2002. The mutated branch was propagated by cuttings and grown in pots. Trials were performed in April 2003.
Tests & Trials: The tests and trials for 'Sunvivaho' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring and summer of 2006, at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 15 plants of each variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 10 cm pots on April 18, 2006. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 17 to 19, 2006. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
