Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEDP19309' was bred and developed by the breeders in Stuttgart, Germany. The new variety originated from a controlled cross between the female parent, 'DSS-2014-1046', and the male parent, 'DCP-2001-TU 006' in Stuttgart in August 2015. From the resulting progeny, seedlings were selected in May 2016 based on plant growth habit and flower colour. After further evaluation in greenhouse trials, a single unique seedling was selected in 2016 and named 'KLEDP19309'.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEDP19309' is based on the UPOV Report of Technical Examination, application number 2020/1132, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands in 2021. The colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
