Abstract
A new bright pink gerbera (Gerbera hybrida Hort.) cultivar ‘Sunnyeo’ was developed from a cross ‘Rosula’ and ‘Ansofie’ followed by seedling and line selections at the Flower Breeding Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services (ARES) in 1999. Characteristics trials were conducted three times from 2001 to 2002. Newly bred ‘Sunnyeo’ showed pink color (RHS 48-D), brown center, single type, and large flower. It also was in good harmony in ray floret color and flower center color with stable flower shape, and vase life was 9.1 days. The average yield of ‘Sunnyeo’ was 50.4 flowers per plant per year in the greenhouse yield trials carried out from 2001 to 2002. This cultivar registered for commercialization in 2003. ‘Sunnyeo’ would be cultured under greenhouse condition in Korea.
