Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Synazy Urcoral' were conducted in an outdoor irrigated trial during the summer of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants of each variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 20 cm pots on June 29, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on September 23, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
