Origin & Breeding History: 'Sandeal' originated from a controlled cross made in 2001, in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands. The female parent in the cross is identified as A178A-1 and the male parent an unidentified plant. The new variety 'Sandeal' was selected from the resultant progeny as a single plant in April 2002. Clones were tested in 2003 for greenhouse and field performance, plant habit, branching, flower colour and size and continuity. Asexual reproduction by cuttings was first conducted in April 2002.
Tests & Trials: Tests and trials 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.
