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 />
