Origin & Breeding History: 'PEQZ0020' originated from a controlled hybrid cross conducted by the breeder, Ronald, Snijder, an employee of Syngenta Seeds B.V., in Enkhuizen, the Netherlands. The cross was made in September 2012 between the female parent variety'PEQZ0010' and the male parent, a proprietary seedling designated 'k07-3127-2'. The resultant seed was sown in January, 2013. The new variety 'PEQZ0020' was selected as a single unique seedling in Enkhuizen, in May 2013, based on flower time, branching characteristics and flower appearance.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'PEQZ0020' is based on the UPOV Report of Technical Examination, application number 2016/2342, purchased from Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany in 2018. Colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
