Origin & Breeding History: 'MANZ0021' originated from a controlled cross conducted in April 2012 between two proprietary seedlings, the female parent designated as ‘DIP-180' and the male parent designated as ‘DIP-076' in Gilroy, California, USA. In December 2014, 'MANZ0021' was selected as a single seedling from the resulting progeny based on its plant growth habit, foliage colour, flowering time, flowering period and flower colour in Gilroy, California, USA.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'MANZ0021' was conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2024 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 29, 2024. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on August 6, 2024. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
