Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEGL06261' originated from an open pollination between the proprietary seedling V 001 and an unknown male parent, made in Stuttgart, Germany in 2003. In June 2004, 850 seedlings were selected in Stuttgart, one of which would be designated as 'KLEGL06261'. Selection criteria included growth habit and time of flowering. Outdoor performance trials were conducted to assess growth habit, flowering habit and tolerance to heat and rain.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLEGL06261' 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 into 15 cm pots on May 13, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants on July 14, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
