Origin & Breeding History: 'Saxcanhea' originated from an open pollinated cross conducted by the breeder Katrin Meinl in Dresden, Germany in April 2009. The cross occurred between female parent variety 'HORPILL' and an unknown male parent with pollen from a mix of different proprietary clones. In May 2011, 'Saxcanhea' was selected as a single unique plant in Dresden, Germany based on its compact growth habit and inflorescence colour and later commercialized in May 2015 in Dresden, Germany.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Saxcanhea' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 20160183, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany in 2017 and 2018. Colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
