Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEDG14177' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder, Martin Glawe, in Stuttgart, Germany. In August 2010, the cross was made between the female parent variety 'DSS-2009-0513' and the male parent variety 'DSS-2008-0003'. Resulting seedlings were selected in Stuttgart, Germany in June 2011 based on flower colour and floriferousness. After selection, these seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials, in Stuttgart from September 2011 to April 2012, to assess branching characteristics, early flowering, tolerance to frost, and indoor and outdoor growth performance. In April of 2014, in Stuttgart, Germany, 'KLEDG14177' was selected for commercialization.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'KLEDG14177' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring and summer of 2018 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 15 cm pots on April 27, 2018. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on June 27, 2018. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
