Origin & Breeding History: 'WNSVUPPK' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder on August 24, 2016 in Bonsall, California, USA. The cross was made between the female parent, a proprietary seedling designated 16BS131-01 and the male parent, a proprietary seedling designated 16SB116-04. The new variety 'WNSVUPPK' was selected as a single plant from the cross on August 16, 2017 based on plant habit, branching characteristics, flower colour, internode length and garden performance. Asexual reproduction of 'WNSVUPPK' was first conducted by cuttings on August 23, 2017 in Bonsall, California, USA.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'WNSVUPPK' was conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2022 at Bioflora Inc., in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 6, 2022. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of 10 plants of each variety on June 27, 2022. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart. Mean differences were significant at the 5% confidence probability level based on a paired Student's t-test.
