'CIFZ0009' has a greater number of indentations of the leaf margin than 'Golden Yoandrea'. Just before opening, the outer side of the flower bud of 'CIFZ0009' is yellow whereas the flower bud of 'Golden Yoandrea' is light yellow with brown red to orange brown along the ray floret margins, and the flower bud of 'Dark Veria' is lighter yellow. 'CIFZ0009' has a smaller flower diameter than 'Golden Yoandrea' and a larger flower head diameter than 'Dark Veria'. The profile of the ray floret in cross-section at the widest point is flat for 'CIFZ0009' while it is flat to weakly convex for 'Golden Yoandrea' and moderately concave for 'Dark Veria'. The outer side of the ray floret of 'CIFZ0009' is yellow whereas the ray floret of 'Golden Yoandrea' is yellow with orange brown on the apical part of the central bar, and the ray floret of 'Dark Veria' is lighter yellow.

Origin & Breeding History: 'CIFZ0009' originated from a controlled cross-pollination conducted in December 2007, as part of a controlled breeding program of Syngenta Flowers, Inc. The cross involved variety 'Yoelena' (Elena) as the female parent, and variety 'Yodiana' (Diana) as the male parent. The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in June 2009. 'CIFZ0009' was selected as a single plant from the progeny in November 2009 by the breeder, Mark A. Smith, based on its flower colour, and plant growth habit.
Tests & Trials: The trial for 'CIFZ0009' was conducted as an outdoor irrigated trial during the summer of 2012 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. It included a total of 15 plants of the candidate variety and 12 plants each of the reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 20 cm pots on June 11, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of the candidate and reference varieties on October 10, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
