Origin & Breeding History: 'SMNBDPT' originated from a controlled hybrid cross conducted by the breeder, Timothy D. Wood, of Spring Meadow Nursery, Inc. in Grand Haven, Michigan, USA. The cross was made between the female parent designated 'UC 701' and the male parent variety 'Pink Delight' in 2012 in Grand Haven, Michigan, USA. From the resulting progeny, a single seedling was selected in 2013 based on its compact growth habit, stem thickness, short internode length, leaf appearance and texture, inflorescence size and flower colour. 'SMNBDPT' was first propagated by softwood cuttings in 2013 in Grand Haven, Michigan, USA.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'SMNBDPT' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 20172708, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trial was conducted by the testing station of the Groupe d'Étude et de Contrôle des Variétés et des Semences in Brion, France from 2018 to 2019.
