The initial selection of 'Balcabpiken' was made in May 2008 based on flower colour and branching characteristics. Asexual propagation since that time has been through the use of vegetative cuttings.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Balcabpiken' were conducted in the summer of 2012 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm shallow pots on August 7, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on September 28, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
