Origin & Breeding History: 'PB1V2' originated from a controlled cross conducted on June 6, 1999 in Balmoral Village, Australia between the unnamed seedlight x98060.3 and a pollen mixture from the siblings of x98060.3. The seeds from this cross were sown in September 1999 and the new Argeranthemum variety was selected from the resultant progeny in February 2000. Selection of the new variety was based on yellow flower colour, continuous flowering and compact growth habit. 'PB1V2' was subsequently established in tissue culture where it was reselected for stability in flower form. The variety was first propagated by vegetative stem cuttings in November 2002 at Balmoral Village, Australia.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'PB1V2' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2008 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on March 19, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 23, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
