Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'KLEVP12427' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder Ruijun Li, an employee of NuFlora International Pty. Ltd., in Cobbity, Australia. The cross occured between the proprietary seedlings of female parent '13112' and male parent 'V 842' in September 2008. From the resulting progeny, seedlings were selected in April 2009 for their early flowering and vigorous growth. From these, a single seedling was selected for commercialization and named 'KLEVP12427'.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'KLEVP12427' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2016, at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on April 19, 2016. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on May 31, 2016. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
