It originated from a mutation of the Dianthus designated 'DCP-2009-1003' discovered in March of 2010, in Blempfingen. 'KLEDP15180' was selected for its flower colour, flower colour pattern, and plant performance similar to varieties from the Oscar series. It was evaluated in greenhouse trials in Stuttgart, in October 2011 to assess plant uniformity, flower colour pattern and flower colour contrast. In April of 2012, in Stuttgart, Germany, 'KLEDP15180' was selected for commercialization.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEDP15180' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2016/1003, 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 ANJ3213. The colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
