In April 2015, a single unique plant was selected from the resulting progeny in De Lier, Netherlands based on its plant form and appearance, branch strength, reblooming capacity, disease tolerance and shelf life. Asexual reproduction of 'Hifir' was first conducted by cuttings in June 2015 in De Lier, Netherlands.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Hifir' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2018/3053, 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, 2020 and December 15, 2021. Colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
