Evaluation location: Florida, United States
Seeds of each plant introduction line were initiated in the greenhouse and transplanted into the field after approximately 4 weeks of growth. The field nursery consisted of four replications with each replication composed of seven plant rows for a total of 28 plants evaluated per plant introduction line. Data were collected for each charater based on the descriptors as listed in GRIN. Data were collected on a individual plant basis for crown width, growth habit, plant type, vigor, regowth, spring plant size, flower color, leaf mark, leaf color, leaf size, leafiness, stand survival, and plant height. Data for uniformity, maturity, flower production, and stolon density were recorded on a plot basis (seven plant row plots). Measured characters were collected in centimeters (plant height), percentage of plants (stand survival), or number of stolons intersecting a meter length (stolon density).
