Tests & Trials: Trials for 'PERHC18B' were conducted in a greenhouse in St. Catharines, Ontario. Trials included 25 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on July 24, 2012. Pots were spaced 27 cm apart, from the pot centre. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on November 21, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
