Application No: 1999/238 Accepted: 23 Sep 1999.<br />
Applicant: Super Perennials Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand.<br />
Agent: <strong>Australia</strong>n Perennial Growers Pty Ltd, Ballina,<br />
NSW.<br />
Characteristics (Table 49, Figure 27) Plant: habit compact,<br />
height short-medium. Stem: internodes medium. Leaf:<br />
length and width medium, basal leaf shape oblanceolate,<br />
margin bipinnatisect with blunt lobes and obtuse apices,<br />
later leaf shape progressing to ovate-elliptical, margin<br />
bipinnatisect with acute apices, predominant colour green<br />
(RHS <strong>13</strong>7A). Inflorescence: capitulum, peduncle length<br />
medium. Ray floret: 5 lobed, width small (mean <strong>13</strong>.8mm),<br />
outer lobe length and width short (mean length 9.6mm,<br />
mean width 6.9mm), shape spathulate, margin entire, lobe<br />
colour red-purple (RHS 74D) over white (RHS 155D),<br />
floret base colour white (RHS 155D). Bud: red-purple<br />
(RHS 74D) at opening. (Note: all RHS colour chart<br />
numbers refer to 1995 edition.)<br />
Origin and Breeding Open pollination followed by<br />
seedling selection: arose as an open pollinated seedling in a<br />
bed of Scabiosa varieties. Most likely parents are ‘Mauve<br />
Delight’ and ‘Pink Lace’. ‘Mauve Delight’ shares a similar<br />
growth habit and ‘Pink Lace’ was the only pink flowered<br />
variety at the site of selection. Selection took place in<br />
Auckland, New Zealand in 1995. Selection criteria:<br />
compact habit and pink flower colour. Propagation: a<br />
number mature stock plants were generated from this<br />
seedling through vegetative cuttings and were found to be<br />
uniform and stable. ‘Samanthas Pink’ will be commercially<br />
propagated by vegetative cuttings from the stock plants.<br />
Breeder: Jacquelyn Coleman, Auckland, New Zealand.<br />
Choice of Comparators ‘Pink Mist’ A , ‘Passion’, ‘Pink<br />
Lace’ and ‘Mauve Delight’ were initially considered for the<br />
comparative trial as these are similar varieties of common<br />
knowledge. ‘Passion’ was excluded from the trial due to a<br />
taller growth habit with longer internodes. ‘Mauve Delight’<br />
was excluded from the trial as it has mauve flower colour<br />
and ‘Pink Lace’ as it has a taller growth habit. ‘Pink Mist’ A<br />
was included due to its similar growth habit and flower<br />
colour.<br />
Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Pink Mist’ A . Location:<br />
Kincumber, NSW, spring-summer 1999. Conditions: trial<br />
conducted open beds, plants propagated from cutting,<br />
rooted cuttings planted into 140mm pots filled with soilless<br />
potting mix, nutrition maintained with slow release<br />
fertilisers, pest and disease treatments applied as required.<br />
Trial design: fifteen pots of each variety arranged in a<br />
completely randomised design. Measurements: from ten<br />
plants at random. One sample per plant.<br />
