Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunmarired' originated from a cross conducted at the Omi R&D Center of Suntory Flowers Ltd. located in Higashiomi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan in June 2002. The female parent was a breeding line designated 'USV65' and the male parent was another breeding line designated 'H232-2'. From the resulting progeny, 20 seedlings were selected in January 2003 and trialed from May to October 2003. Subsequently, 'Sunmarired' was selected from these seedlings based on its' flower colour and plant growth habit.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Sunmarired' were conducted in a poly-house during the spring of 2007 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of fifteen (15) plants per variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings transplanted into 11.5 cm pots on May 4, 2007. Measured characteristics were based on measurements taken from ten (10) plants or parts of plants. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
