‘Mermaid Yellow
Improved’ (U.S.
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in December 2006, and continuing there after, has demonstrated that the combination of characteris tics as herein disclosed for ‘Synwil Yel’ are ?rmly ?xed and are retained through successive generations of asexual repro duction.
‘SynwilYel’ has not been observed under all possible envi ronmental conditions. The phenotype may vary signi?cantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light
intensity and day length.
