One seedling was selected for flower colour and growth habit. The variety was propagated by cuttings and tested in trials during 2003 and 2004.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Sanifpeco' were conducted during the spring/summer of 2008 in a polyhouse at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. There were 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. The plants were grown from rooted cuttings which were transplanted to 11 cm pots on April 16, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants on July 17, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
