One plant was selected by the breeder in October 2006. The selected plant was propagated by cuttings and grown in a pot trial from April to November 2007.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Sunmarimuco' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2011, 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 and transplanted into 11 cm pots on July 8, 2011. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on August 15, 2011. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
