'Kolmakilima' was selected in August, 2012, for its compact plant growth habit, inflorescence size, and the persistence of green colour at the top of the inflorescence.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Kolmakilima' was conducted in an outdoor irrigated container trial in the spring and summer of 2016, at Bioflora Inc., St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 10 plants of the candidate variety and 8 plants of the reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings, transplanted into 13.2 litre containers on June 1, 2015. The observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of plants, of each variety, on July 30, 2016. The aged flower colour was recorded on August 15, 2016. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
