A plant was selected from the resultant progeny of the cross in 2001, based on early flowering, flower characteristics and plant habit. Asexual reproduction by vegetative cuttings was first conducted in August, 2001 in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

Rooted cuttings were transplanted into six inch pots on April 17, 2006. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
