Origin & Breeding History: 'SAXDIFIOROS' originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the breeder, Katrin Meinl of Kuhne Jungpflanzen Claus Kuhne, in Dresden, Germany, early in the summer of 2006. The cross was made between the female parent designated '41-99/1' and the male parent variety Hydrangea macrophylla 'Sumperflorens'. In April 2008, a single unique plant was selected from the progeny in Dresden, Germany based on its vigorous and upright growth habit, stem strength, length of flowering period, inflorescence colour and foliage colour. Asexual reproduction of 'SAXDIFIOROS' was first conducted in June 2008, in Dresden, Germany.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'SAXDIFIOROS' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2014/2152, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by Groupe d'Étude et de Contrôle des Variétés et des Semences in Brion, France between February 15, 2015 and December 15, 2016. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
