'Agrihydratwaalf' was first asexually propagated by cuttings on April 20, 2010, in Glandorf, Germany.

The trial was conducted by the Groupe d'Étude et de contrôle des Variétés Et des Semences, in Brion, France, from 2011 to 2012. The colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
