Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEP03107' originated from a controlled pollination between the seedlings F017 x Z 98162, made in Stuttgart, Germany in 2000. Seedlings were selected from the F1 progeny of the cross in 2001, based on criteria for flower colour, dark green foliage and plant habit and growth. 'KLEP03107' was evaluated at greenhouse trials during 2002 in Italy and Stuttgart, Germany. The new variety was assessed for plant growth and habit, pot performance, flower quality and early flowering. Outdoor trials were conducted in Stuttgart and Italy during 2002 to assess outdoor performance, flower number and tolerance to weather and diseases.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, registration number 16071, purchased from the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany. The trials were conducted in 2005. All colour characteristics were determined using the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart, 2001 edition.
