Origin & Breeding History: 'Balandimfla' originated from a controlled breeding program conducted at Arroyo Grande, California, USA, in July of 1999. It is the result of an open pollination of Lantana variety 'Simon Yellow' which is characterized by its mounding growth habit and yellow flowers. Initial selection of 'Balandimfla' was made in December of 2000. Asexual propagation since that time has been through the use of vegetative cuttings.
Tests & Trials: The test and trial for 'Balandimfla' was conducted in a polyhouse in St. Thomas, Ontario during the spring of 2005. The trial included 15 plants of each variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on April 28, 2005. Observations and measurements were taken from ten plants of each variety on June 21, 2005. All colour characteristics were determined using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
