A New Gerbera Variety 'Peach Honey' : High-yielding Cultivar with Salmon and Semi-double for Cut-flower

摘要

A new gerbera variety 'Peach Honey' was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI) in 2006. A cross was made between 'Ansofie' with white and semi-double and 'Lilabella' with pink and semi-double in 2000. After investigation of the characteristics for 6 years (from 2000 to 2006), it was selected specially for the use of cut-flower. 'Peach Honey' is vigorous cultivar with salmon and semi-double. It produces a large yield with continuous supply of flowers and has adequate peduncleheight and brilliant color. We believe that 'Peach Honey' has a great potential for expanding cultivated area of domestic gerbera cultivar and increasing farmers-income.
