Origin & Breeding History: 'Fify White Two' was developed by the breeder as part of a planned breeding program based on the pedigree system. The new variety originated from a cross made in July 2000 in Andijk, The Netherlands. The female parent was a white flowered seedling named IW-778-1 and the male parent was a white flowered seedling named MRO-1-36. The resultant F1 seed was sown in a greenhouse in October 2000. In January 2001, a single plant was selected by the breeder from the F1 progeny, based on flower colour, form and plant habit.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, grant number 12264, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France. The trials were conducted in 2003 at the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany. All colour characteristics were determined using the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart, 2001 edition.
