The trial included 20 plants of each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15.2 cm pots on April 19, 2023. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or 10 parts of plants on June 6, 2023. Mean differences were significant at the 5% confidence probability level based on a paired Student's t-test. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
