The initial selection was made in May 2004 based on the selection criteria of branching habit, early flowering time, flower size, no seed set and heat tolerance.

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted in a poly house in the spring of 2008 in St. Thomas, Ontario. There were 15 plants of each variety individually grown in 12 cm plastic pots. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
