Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunmarimura' originated from a cross of the female parent variety 'VW337' and the male parent variety 'H-31' conducted in June 2005, at Higashiomi-shi, Shiga, Japan. In January 2006, 48 seedlings were obtained from the cross. The seedlings were propagated by cuttings and grown in pots through to May 2006. One seedling was then selected from these plants based on flower colour and growth habit and named 'Sunmarimura'.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Lan Bule' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2009, in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings transplanted into 11 cm pots on May 6, 2009. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 2, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
