Relative to the leaf length, the length of the terminal leaf lobe of 'CIFZ0026' is very long while the terminal leaf lobe of 'Yoashley' is short. The depth of the lowest lateral sinus of the leaf is deep for 'CIFZ0026' while the lowest lateral sinus of 'Yoashley' is shallow. On non-disbudded plants, the flower head of 'CIFZ0026' is larger in diameter with a longer ray floret than the flower head of 'Yoashley'. The shape of the tip of the ray floret is dentate for 'CIFZ0026' while the tip of the ray floret is rounded for 'Yoashley'. The colour of the inner side of the ray floret of 'CIFZ0026' is yellow brown with a brown red apex whereas the colour of the ray floret of 'Yoashley' is orange brown with brown red toned over colour. In comparison to the colour of the inner side of the ray floret, the colour of the outer side of the ray floret of 'CIFZ0026' is markedly different whereas the colour of the outer side of the ray floret of 'Yoashley' is similar.

Origin & Breeding History: 'CIFZ0026' was bred and developed as part of a controlled breeding program at Syngenta Flowers Inc., in Gilroy, California, USA. It originated from a cross conducted in August 2008 by the breeder, Mark A. Smith, in Amanecer, Columbia, USA, between the proprietary line designated '06-M131' as the female parent, and the proprietary line designated '04-M277' as the male parent. The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in June 2009, in Alva, Florida, USA. 'CIFZ0026' was selected in November 2009 based on its flower colour and plant growth habit.

Tests & Trials: The trial of 'CIFZ0026' was conducted as an outdoor irrigated trial during the fall of 2013 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. It included a total of 20 plants of the candidate variety and 15 plants of the reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 20 cm pots on June 25, 2013. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of the candidate and reference varieties on October 6, 2013. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
