The cross was conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, on May 8, 2009. 'USCAC06503' was selected as a single plant from the resultant progeny on May 27, 2010 in Bonsall, California, USA. Its selection was based on flower colour, double-type flower, early flowering, and plant growth habit. The first propagation by vegetative cutting of 'USCAC06503' took place on May 28, 2010 in Bonsall, California, USA.
Tests & Trials: The trial for 'USCAC06503' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2013 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. There were a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 30 cm diameter hanging baskets on May 7, 2013. Each basket contained 4 cuttings with a total of 5 baskets per variety. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of plants on July 3, 2013. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
