Origin & Breeding History: 'Dekilvija' originated from crossing '03.7815.01' as the female parent with the proprietary seedling number '04.9196.01' as the male parent, which was conducted in April, 2006 in Hensbroek, The Netherlands. It was selected from the resultant progeny in October, 2006 based on flower colour, flower size and good production as a spray and disbud variety. Asexual reproduction of the variety by cuttings was first conducted in Hensbroek in November, 2006 and was designated for commercialization in July, 2007.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Dekilvija' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2008/2182, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by The National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB) in Cambridge, United Kingdom, in 2009. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart, 5th edition.
