The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in August 2011. In March 2012, a single plant was selected from the progeny based on plant vigour, number of flowers and flowering time.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'SAXZ0015' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2015/2579, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany in Cambridge, United Kingdom in 2016.
