Origin & Breeding History: 'Kiefucor' originated from the crossing in 2001 of the seedling A2504 (female parent) with 'Bridal Pink' (male parent). The cross took place at Venhuizen, the Netherlands. The F1 seedlings were grown out in 2002 and were evaluated for plant habit, flower colour and flower size. In 2002, the new variety was selected, with reliable propagation and cutting stability used as the final selection criteria for 'Kiefucor'.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Kiefucor' were conducted during the summer of 2008 at Oxford Station, Ontario. The trials consisted of 15 plants of each variety, grown in 10cm pots. The plants were spaced in flats, approximately 30cm apart and were grown in a polyhouse. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
