Origin & Breeding History: 'INJAMSASKY' originated from a cross pollination conducted by the breeder Silvia Hofmann in Heidesheim, Germany in August 2017. The cross was made between the female parent variety 'Shakira Yellow' and the male parent, a proprietary seedling designated 'Ja 16 15-6'. From the resulting progeny, a single plant was selected in July 2018 based on plant growth habit, branching density, flower size, flower colour and summer performance. 'INJAMSASKY' was first asexually propagated by vegetative cuttings in July 2018 in Gensingen, Germany.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'INJAMSASKY' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2022 at BioFlora, Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 7, 2022. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on June 1, 2022. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
