Abstract

A new pink gerbera (Gerbera hybrida Hort.) 'Sugar Pink' was developed from a cross 'Temptation' and 'Grandeur' followed by seedling and line selections at the Flower Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services (ARES) in 2006. Characteristic tests were conducted three times from 2004 to 2006. 'Sugar Pink' has semi-double type in good harmony with bright pink (RHS 68-C) ray floret and green center. It has good stable flower shape and strong peduncle. Its vase life was 13.8 days. The average yield of 'Sugar Pink' was 49.2 flowers per plant a year in greenhouse yield trials carried out from 2004 to 2006. This cultivar was registered for commercialization in 2006. 'Sugar Pink' could be cultured under greenhouse condition in Korea.
