Origin & Breeding History: 'NCHA7' originated from a controlled cross pollination conducted by the breeder Thomas Green Ranney as part of a planned breeding program at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A. in 2010. The cross was conducted between the female parent variety 'H2009-068-007' and the male parent variety 'H2008-143-001' at the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station in Mills River, North Carolina, U.S.A.. From the resulting progeny, 'NCHA7' was selected in July 2012 based on its upright, compact, rounded plant growth habit, strong stems, triploid cytotype and mophead inflorescence with red-purple flowers. 'NCHA7' was first asexually propagated by stem cuttings in July 2012 at the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station in Mills River, North Carolina, U.S.A..
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'NCHA7' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 20172706, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by Groupe d'Étude et de Contrôle des Variétés et des Semences in Brion, France between February 15, 2018 and December 15, 2019. Colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
