S	dentate	SRL Registration	'Solferina' was obtained by crossing S. truncatas: 'lilas' (mallow/Beetroot color) with 'amarelo' (yellow) pollen parent. The parent plants that gave rise to this cultivar were not collected in nature, but were part of an old collection belonging to the maternal grandparents of the hybridizer.
