The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in December 2006. In April 2007, a single plant from the progeny was selected by the breeder based on flower colour, plant habit and production characteristics.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Ban Whit' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of fifteen plants of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 18, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from ten plants or parts of plants on June 30, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
