Description:
PLANT: erect shoots with strong anthocyanin when present
LEAF: oblanceolate shape, weak degree of lobing, no variegation, dark green in colour on the upper side
FLOWER: begins very early, one or two complete ray floret whorls, presence of incomplete ray floret whorls, with dense pubescence on the calyx and weak reflexing of sepals
RAY FLORET: oblanceolate in shape, with a rounded apex and no inward rolling of longitudinal margins, horizontal to slightly reflexed in attitude, violet on the upper side with faded longitudinal stripes, brown purple on the lower side
DISC: dark blue before dehiscence
Origin & Breeding History: ‘KLEO04110' was developed by Nils Klemm in Stuttgart, Germany, and originated from a controlled pollination between proprietary seedlings PM12 and CD10 conducted in 2001. The new osteospermum was selected in 2002 as a single plant from the resultant progeny, based on compact growth habit, flower colour and disease and weather resistance. ‘KLEO04110' was evaluated in greenhouse trials during 2002-2003 for rooting performance, fast and uniform growth, compact growth habit and early flowering. Outdoor trials were conducted simultaneously to evaluate continuous flowering and resistance to weather and disease.
Tests & Trials: The trials for ‘KLEO04110' were conducted in a polyhouse at BioFlora in St. Thomas, Ontario, during the spring of 2006. The trials included 15 plants of each variety grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety. All colour characteristics were determined using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) colour chart.
