Origin & Breeding History: 'Chewnicebell' was bred and developed by Christopher Hugh Warner in Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom. It originated from a controlled cross conducted in June 1998 between the variety 'Pandemonium' as the female parent and 'Scrivbell' as the male parent. 'Chewnicebell' was selected in 2004 based on its plant growth habit, disease resistance, glossy foliage, free flowering habit, abundant and attractive flowers, attractiveness of flowers, and flower colour. Asexual reproduction of 'Chewnicebell' was first conducted by softwood cuttings in 2004 in Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Chewnicebell' was conducted outdoors during the summer of 2014 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 10 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from liners transplanted into 9 litre pots on July, 2013. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of plants of each variety on July 21, 2014. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
