Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Dancat266' were conducted in a poly-house during the spring of 2009 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of fifteen plants per variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on May 7, 2009. Observations and measurements were taken from ten plants or parts of plants on June 9, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
