Origin & Breeding History: 'SAKIMP008' originated from a hybridization between two proprietary lines conducted by the breeders Moriya Kawashima and Yoneo Kobayashi in January 2004, at the Misato Research Station. The resultant progeny were evaluated in an open field trial and a single plant was selected based on salmon flower colour, mounding growth habit and a strong root system. From May to August 2005, the selection was evaluated in the field. Shoot tip cuttings were propagated in Salinas, California and plants were evaluated for stability of traits. The new variety was subsequently named 'SAKIMP008'.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'SAKIMP008' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2009 in St. Thomas, Ontario. Trials included 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 24, 2009. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 10, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
