Origin & Breeding History: 'Superbini' originated from a cross made in the summer of 2003, in Dietingen, Switzerland. The proprietary seedling designated as 9/2 was the female parent, and the seedling designated as 5/2 was the male parent. The new variety was selected in the spring of 2004 for criteria based on very compact growth habit, a homogenous rounded shape, dark foliage and large flowers. The first vegetative propagation of the new variety took place in 2004.
Tests & Trials: Tests and trails were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2007 in St. Thomas, Ontario. Trials included 15 plants of each variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 11 cm pots on April 23, 2007. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 18, 2007. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
