The new variety was developed by the breeder, Brent D. Barnes, an employee of Plant 21 LLC in Bonsall, California, USA. 'BBCAL76001' was selected as a single seedling from the resultant progeny on June 9, 2015 in Bonsall, California, USA based on its semi-mounding growth habit, plant branching; flower size, colour and coverage. The new variety 'BBCAL76001' was first propagated by vegetative tip cuttings in June 2015, in Bonsall, California, USA.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'BBCAL76001' 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 varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 30 cm hanging baskets on May 6, 2018. 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, of each variety on June 18, 2018. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
