Origin & Breeding History: 'WNLOLACLWH' originated from a controlled cross conducted in November 2016 in Alajuela, Costa Rica, between the female parent variety 'Techno Heat White' and the male parent variety 'Hot White Snow'. From the resulting progeny, a single plant was selected on August 15, 2017 in Twinsburg, Ontario based on flower colour, flower abundance, flowering period, heat tolerance and summer performance. 'WNLOLACLWH' was initially asexually propagated by cuttings on November 15, 2017 in Carleton, Michigan, USA.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'WNLOLACLWH' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2022 at BioFlora, Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 8, 2022. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on May 31, 2022. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
