The new variety was discovered and selected by the breeder, Ushio Sakazaki, in Gensingen, Germany in July 2012 based on its flower colour and pattern. Asexual reproduction by vegetative tip cuttings of 'USCALCHSTM' was first conducted in August 2012 in Gensingen, Germany.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'USCALCHSTM' was conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2018 at BioFlora, Inc. 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 pots on April 27, 2018. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on June 6, 2018. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
