Origin & Breeding History: CIDZ0094' was discovered as a mutation from the proprietary parent seedling designated C0137' in Gilroy, California, USA on November 16, 2015. It was selected based on its plant structure, flower form and colour, as well as its flowering response time.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for CIDZ0094' was conducted in a greenhouse in St. Catharine's, Ontario in the summer of 2025. Fifty unrooted cuttings were planted into 15 cm pots, with 5 cuttings per pot, 10 pots per variety on June 30, 2025. Plants were pinched on July 14, 2025 prior to short day treatment. Plants were spaced 30 cm apart on July 21, 2025. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on September 10, 2025. Colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) colour chart.
