Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEDG15176' was bred and developed by the breeder, Martin Glawe, in Stuttgart, Germany. It originated from a controlled cross conducted in June 2010, between the selection designated 'DSS-2009-0511', as the female parent, and the selection designated 'DSS-2007-0020', as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, seedlings were selected in May of 2011, in Stuttgart, for their branching characteristics, flowering time and flower colour. These seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials, in Stuttgart from September 2010 to April 2011, to assess flowering time and flower colour. In April of 2014, in Stuttgart, Germany, 'KLEDG15176' was selected for commercialization.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEDG15176' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2016/0997, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France. The trial was conducted in 2017 by the Naktuinbouw - Variety Center, in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands, using the reference number ANJ3222. The colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
