The new variety was selected in an outdoor trial in 2001 based on flower quality. 'KLEAU04263' was evaluated in greenhouse trials during 2002 and 2003 in Stuttgart, Germany and assessed for early flowering and growth characteristics. Outdoor trials were conducted during 2002 and 2003 to assess outdoor performance, flower number and resistance to weather and high temperatures.
Tests & Trials: The tests and trials for 'KLEAU04263' were conducted in a polyhouse at BioFlora in St. Thomas, Ontario in the summer of 2006. The trials included 15 plants of each variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 10, 2006. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour chart.
