Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEOE12198' originated from a cross conducted in July 2008 by the breeder, Silke Wagener, in Stuttgart, Germany. The cross involved the proprietary seedlings designated 'Mutant 1' as the female parent and 'V 78' as the male parent. Seedlings resulting from this cross were selected in May 2009 based on their flower size, flower colour, flower shape, leaf quality, branching quality and plant vigour. The selected seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from May 2010 to May 2012 and were reassessed using the initial selection criteria. 'KLEOE12198' was selected for commercialization in May 2012.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial of 'KLEOE12198' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2014 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. It 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 diameter shallow pots on April 28, 2014. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of plants of each variety on June 17, 2014. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
