The new variety was selected by Gurjit Sidhu in Mission, British Columbia based on leaf variegation and flower size. Propagation of 'Vinsid1' by micropropagation was first conducted in the winter of 2005. The variety has been evaluated for stability, uniformity and performance since the summer of 2006.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Vinsid1' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2008 in St. Thomas, Ontario. Trials included 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. Rooted cuttings were planted into 15 cm containers on June 16, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on August 9, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
