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.
