The new variety was discovered in 2004 within a group of 500 three year old rooted cuttings of the variety 'Radtko' that were propagated at Granby, Conneticut, United States in 2001. 'Radtkopink' was selected based on flower colour, vegetation vigour, foliage appearance and plant growth habit.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Radtkopink' were conducted in a polyhouse in Oxford Station, Ontario in 2008. Fifteen plants of the candidate and twelve plants of the reference variety were grown in #2 nursery pots spaced approximately 0.5 metres apart.
