Origin & Breeding History: 'Dark Jodie' originated from a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of the K. blossfeldiana x K. lanciniata cultivar 'Jodie' (KJ 2003 0818) discovered in February 2006 in Damsbrovej, Hinnerup, Denmark. The new variety was the product of a planned breeding program conducted by the breeder, Knud Jepsen, in Hinnerup, Denmark. 'Dark Jodie' was selected by the breeder in April 2006 based on plant growth habit, flower size, flower type and flower colour. Asexual reproduction of 'Dark Jodie' by cuttings was first conducted in April 2006.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Dark Jodie' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2007/0107, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany, in 2007. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
