Origin & Breeding History: 'SCY' originated from a controlled cross pollination of the female parent C0811-2 with pollen from the male parent D1473-2. The new variety was bred and developed by the breeder H. Stemkens, in August 2002, in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands. A single seedling was selected in May 2003 based on flowering time, branching characteristics, sterility, flower size, heat tolerance and mildew tolerance. Asexual reproduction by cuttings of the variety was first conducted in September 2003, in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'SCY' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2009, in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings transplanted into 11 cm pots on May 6, 2009. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 2, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
