Origin & Breeding History: 'INLBUBLUPR' originated from a cross-pollination conducted between the female seed parent 'INLBUSNOPR' and pollen from plants of tetraploid Lobularia maritima in March 2009 by Peter Wicki-Freidl in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. Seedlings were selected from the progeny of the cross in May 2010 based on flower colour, flower size and leaf size.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'INLBUBLUPR' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2013 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 13.2 cm pots on April 11, 2013. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 13, 2013. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
