Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEBF14326' was bred and developed by the breeder, Guido von Tubeuf, in Stuttgart, Germany. It originated from an open pollinated cross that occurred in July 2011, in Stuttgart, between the selection designated 'BF-2010-0025', as the female parent, and an unknown male parent. From the resulting progeny, seedlings were selected in May 2012, in Stuttgart, for their plant growth habit, ability to flower early, and the appearance and quality of their flowers. These seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials in Stuttgart, in the spring of 2013 and 2014, and were assessed for plant growth habit, the ability to flower early, the uniformity of their flowers, and the quality and abundance of their flowers. In January 2014, in Stuttgart, Germany, 'KLEBF14326' was selected for commercialization.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEBF14326' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2015/1641, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt under reference number BID 108 in Hannover, Germany, in 2016. The colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
