Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Begonia plant named ‘77KL Sunrise’ characterized by having a definite and distinct flower fragrance that can be described as sweet and lingering but subtle and not overpowering. It is often compared to the scent of a fragrant rose bloom. The fragrance is most pronounced when the temperature is between 65° and 80° F. The cultivar has a distinctly bi-colored flower fading from a pale yellow center to a scarlet color at the margin. The male flowers are fully double and do not produce pollen or male reproductive parts under normal growing conditions. ‘77KL Sunrise’ has a full and semi-pendulous plant habit with numerous flower shoots (4-6 or more). Each flowering shoot will produce anywhere from 4-6 peduncles with 1 or 2 male flowers on each during the growing season.
