Origin & Breeding History: 'Rollys Favorite' originated in the nursery of Mr. H. G. Oudhoorn in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands in 2000. Open pollinated seed was collected from un-named Lychnis flos-jovis selections in 1998 and a seedling population was grown the following year. The objectives of the breeding program were to create new Lyschnis cultivars with improved form and floral traits including colour.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Rollys Favorite' were conducted at Variety Rights Management in Oxford Station, Ontario during the summer of 2010. Twelve plants of each variety were grown in 15 cm pots in a polyhouse. Plants were spaced approximately 60 cm apart. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
