The female parent was the breeding line M35-4 and the male parent was the breeding line M28-3. Seedlings obtained from the cross were grown in the glasshouse and evaluated in November 2002. One seedling was selected based on its growth habit and flower colour. The selected plant was propagated vegetatively and grown in a pot trial from May to October 2003 in Japan.

Tests & Trials: The tests and trials for 'Sunmandetomi' were conducted in a polyhouse at BioFlora in St. Thomas, Ontario in the fall of 2006. The trials included 15 plants of each variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 20 cm pots on May 26, 2006. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
