Origin & Breeding History: 'PEHY0003' originated from a controlled cross made in August 2007 in Gilroy, California, USA between the female parent '1864-3' and the male parent '1903-2'. A single plant was selected from the resultant progeny in March 2008 based on flower colour, plant growth habit and production characteristics.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'PEHY0003' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2012 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 25, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 25, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
