Origin & Breeding History: The lobelia variety 'KLELE08621' originated from a controlled pollination conducted in May-June 2005 in Stuttgart, Germany. The cross was made between two proprietary lines designated 05 0368 and 05 0357. The new variety was selected from the resultant progeny for criteria based on flower colour, early flowering, abundant flowering and plant vigour. The variety was evaluated in greenhouse trials in Stuttgart, Germany and assessed for growth habit, plant vigour and cold tolerance. Outdoor trials were conducted to assess plant and flower tolerance to heat and flower quality.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLELE08621' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of fifteen plants of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on May 6, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from ten plants or parts of plants on May 27, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
