Origin & Breeding History: 'INHELSODOR' originated from an open pollinated cross conducted by the breeder, Silvia Hofmann, an employee of InnovaPlant Zierpflanzen GmbH & Co. KG, Gensingen, Germany. In the summer of 2012, the cross occurred between the proprietary female parent seedling designated 'HEL 12 3-1', and an unknown male parent variety in Heidesheim, Germany. 'INHELSODOR' was selected in September 2013 based on its compact growth habit, good branching and flower colour. 'INHELSODOR' was first asexually propagated by plant divisions in March 2014 in Gensingen, Germany.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'INHELSODOR' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring and summer of 2018 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 4.4 liter containers on April 27, 2018. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on July 2, 2018. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
