Origin & Breeding History: 'G15272' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder, Richard A. Grazzini, in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, USA. The cross was made between the female parent, a proprietary breeding line designated 'G2X-32016-1', and the male parent, a proprietary breeding line designated 'G2X-32010-2' in October 2014. The new variety was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny on September 15, 2015, based on plant vigour, continuous flowering, pollen sterility, seed sterility and field resistance to leaf diseases. Asexual reproduction of 'G15272' was first conducted by vegetative cuttings in October 2015, in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, USA.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'G15272' was conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2020 at Bioflora Inc., in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate variety and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 3.7 litre pots on April 22, 2020. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 18, 2020. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
