The new variety was developed by the breeder Anita Stoever. The resultant seedlings were selected in May 2013 in Stuttgart, Germany based on plant growth habit, double flower type and flower colour. The selected seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from March to May in 2014 and 2015. A single seedling was selected for commercialization and named 'KLECA15332' in January 2015, in Stuttgart, Germany.

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 30 cm hanging baskets on May 6, 2018. Each basket contained 4 cuttings with a total of 5 baskets per variety. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on June 18, 2018.
