Origin & Breeding History: The variety ja1950-008' originated from a controlled cross conducted in Heidesheim, Germany in the summer of 2018. The cross was made between the female parent, a proprietary seedling designated Ja184-7', and the male parent Summer Dream Violet Eye'. ja1950-008' was selected as a single flowering plant in the summer of 2019 based on growth , branch density, flower colour, time and type of flowering. Asexual reproduction of ja1950-008' was first conducted by vegetative cuttings in the summer of 2019 in Gensingen, Germany.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for ja1950-008' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2024 at BioFlora, Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 11, 2024. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on May 18, 2024. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart. Mean differences were significant at the 5% probability level based on a Student's t-test.
