Origin & Breeding History: 'TVP2' originated from an open pollinated cross conducted by the breeder, Gijsbertus Verhoef, in Hazerswoude, Netherlands in late spring 2014. The cross occurred between two unknown varieties within a group of unnamed and named Weigela seed parents. From the resulting progeny, seed was collected, bulked and subsequently sown. In July 2016, 'TVP2' was selected as a single plant from a field of seedlings based on its very compact plant growth habit, branching characteristics, foliage colour, abundant flowering in the spring and pink flower colour. 'TVP2' was first asexually propagated by softwood cuttings in July 2016 in Hazerswoude, Netherlands.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'TVP2' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 20172546 purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by Groupe d'Étude et de Contrôle des Variétés et des Semences in Brion, France between April 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. Colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
