Origin & Breeding History: 'Fiscody' was derived from a hybridization made in 2002 by the breeder Angelika Utecht in Hillscheid, Germany. The female parent was the seedling I95-421-14, a pink flowered seedling from the variety 'Isidel' and the pollen parent was 'Royal Blue', which has purple-violet double flowers, distinctly zoned leaves and moderately vigorous growth habit. The first selection of the seedling was in 2003 in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain. Cuttings from the selected seedling were taken back to Hillscheid, Germany for further examination and trial review in 2004. The main selection criteria were flower colour and early flowering time.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Fiscody' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number PEL2029, purchased from the Bundessortenamt, Hannover, Germany. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany, in 2006. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) colour chart.
