Origin & Breeding History: 'KLELE11773' originated from a cross-pollination conducted in October 2008 in Kenya between the female parent 'LE 07082' and the male parent 'LE 080036', both proprietary varieties. Seedlings were selected in May 2009 in Stuttgart based on flowering time, flower colour, plant habit and vigour. The seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials between February and May 2010 and assessed for flowering time, flower quality, branching, plant habit and vigour. A single seedling was selected for commercialization and named 'KLELE11773' in August 2010.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLELE11773' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2013 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 11.5 cm pots on April 11, 2013. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 23, 2013. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
