From the resulting progeny, a single unique seedling was selected in April 2014 based on plant growth habit and flower colour in Stuttgart, Germany. All seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from 2014 to 2019 to assess plant growth habit and summer performance. 'KLEOE17329' was selected for commercialization in 2017.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial of 'KLEOE17329' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2023 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. It included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 5, 2023. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or 10 parts of plants, of each variety on June 19, 2023. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
