From the resulting progeny, 'Anouk Deluxe 1173' was selected in May 2011, in Boskoop, for its white infertile bracts which remain bright white under the sun and the colour constrast between the purple fertile flowers and white infertile bracts. 'Anouk Deluxe 1173' was first propagated by vegetative cuttings in August 2011, in Boskoop, Netherlands.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Anouk Deluxe 1173' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2013/2382, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France.

The colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
