Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEPZ15395' originated from a cross-pollination conducted between the female parent 'Moonlight Sonja' and the male parent 'Moonlight Fredo' in the summer of 2010 by Martin Glawe in Stuttgart, Germany. The resulting seedlings were selected in May 2011 based on good branching, dark green foliage, early flowering and orange flower colour. The selected seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from 2012 to 2016. A single seedling was selected for commercialization and designated 'KLEPZ15395' in May 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEPZ15395' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number PEL 2661, purchased from the Bundessortenamt, Hannover, Germany where the trials were conducted in 2016. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
