Origin & Breeding History: 'KLECA18067' was bred and developed by the breeder Anita Stover, an employee of Klemm + Sohn GmbH & Co. KG, in Stuttgart, Germany. The new variety originated from a controlled cross conducted in June 2014 between the proprietary female parent designated as 'CA-2014-4052' and the male parent variety 'KLECA16334'. From the resulting progeny, seedlings were selected in May 2015 based on plant growth habit, vigour, branching, early flowering and flower colour pattern. Selected seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from March to May of 2016 to 2019 for the above criteria and performance. 'KLECA18067' was selected for commercialization in May 2019.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLECA18067' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2020/1073, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany in 2021. The colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
