Origin & Breeding History: 'KLESP06163' originated from an open pollination between the proprietary seedling W 066 and an unknown male parent, made in Stuttgart, Germany in 2003. In May 2004, 90 seedlings were selected in Stuttgart, one of which would be designated as 'KLESP06163'. Selection criteria included growth habit, leaf quality, flower quality, early flowering and flower abundance. In 2005, the seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials and assessed for the same traits. Outdoor performance trials were conducted to assess tolerance to rain and temperature, and flowering period.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLESP06163' were conducted during the spring/summer of 2008 in a polyhouse at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. There were 15 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. The plants were grown from rooted cuttings which were transplanted into 11 cm pots on May 15, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants on June 24, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
