Origin & Breeding History: 'Sunmaricorapi2' was developed in July 1998 at The Omi R&D Center of Suntory Flowers Ltd., Shiga, Japan. It was obtained by an irradiation induced mutation of verbena 'Sunmariripi', and the elongated buds were propagated by cuttings and grown in pots. The initial selection was made in March 1999, and five varieties were selected and propagated by cuttings. Trials were performed from May to November 1999 at Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and the variety was selected based on its autoincompatibility, long flower duration, uniformity and stability.

Tests & Trials: The tests and trials for 'Sunmaricorapi2' 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.
