The cross occurred during 2000 in Venhuizen, The Netherlands. The F1 seedlings were grown out in 2001 and evaluated for plant habit, flower colour and flower size. In 2001, the new variety was selected based on ease of propagation and flower colour.
Tests & Trials: Trials were conducted during the summer of 2006 in Oxford Station, Ontario. Trials consisted of 15 plants of each variety individually grown in 10 cm pots in a polyhouse. Observations and measurements were taken on 10 plants of each variety. Colours were determined using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
