Origin & Breeding History: 'Lan Dareda' originated from a hybrid cross made in May 2004, in Gilroy, California, USA between the female parent '04-1801-3' and the male parent 'Aztec Velvet Red'. The resultant seed from the cross was sown in a greenhouse in March 2005. In May 2005, a single plant was selected based on flower colour and plant habit.

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted in a poly house in the spring of 2008 in St. Thomas, Ontario. There were 15 plants of each variety individually grown in 12 cm plastic pots. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
