The F1 seedlings were grown out and tested in 1999. Clone 99119 was selected as the new variety in 1999. Initial selection criteria included plant habit, flower colour and flower size. Additional selection criteria included vigour, plant health, reliable propagation and cutting stability.
Tests & Trials: Trials for '99119' were conducted during the summer of 2006 in Oxford Station, Ontario. Trials consisted of 15 plants of each variety grown in 10 cm pots in a polyhouse. Plants were spaced 15 cm apart. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
