Origin & Breeding History: 'Balandplo' originated from a self-pollination conducted in April 2004, at Arroyo Grande, California, U.S.A. as part of a controlled breeding program. The female parent was the variety 'New Red', characterized by its dark red-orange bicoloured flower colour, dark green foliage, and vigorous and mounded growth habit. 'Balandplo' was selected in January 2005 based on its flower colour, growth habit and early flowering.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Balandplo' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2009 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 7, 2009. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 10, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
