Origin & Breeding History: 'Kialdan' was discovered by the breeder on the premises of InnovaPlant/Kientzler in Gensingen, Germany, in April 1999. The variety is the product of a planned breeding program. The objective of the breeding program was to improve the colour and characteristics of the existing variety 'Kitoga'.

Tests & Trials: 'Kialdan' was tested at Variety Rights Management, Oxford Station, Ontario during the spring/summer of 2004. Each variety was grown outdoors in 10cm pots which were spaced in flats on 12.5cm centres. All colour determinations were made using the 1995 RHS Colour Chart and measured characteristics were based on ten measurements.
