A single seedling was selected for commercialization in August 2009 and named 'KLEOE10178'.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLEOE10178' were conducted in a polyhouse during the fall of 2012 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants of the candidate and reference varieties. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 11 cm pots on July 20, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on November 10, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
