The new variety 'BBTUN91601' was selected from the resultant seedlings on November 2, 2015 based on plant vigour, growth habit, length of flowering time, continuous abundant flowering, flower colour, flower pattern and garden performance. 'BBTUN91601' was first reproduced asexually by vegetative tip cuttings on November 2, 2015 in Bonsall, California, USA.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'BBTUN91601' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2018 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 16, 2018.
