Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'KLEVP08383' originated from a controlled cross pollination made between two proprietary seedlings at the University of Sydney in Cambden, Australia in 2005. In the spring of 2006, seedlings were selected based on criteria for flowering time, branching characteristics and resistance to weather and disease. One of these seedlings was designated 'KLEVP08383'. In spring and summer of 2007, the seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse and outdoor performance trials in Stuttgart, Germany.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLEVP08383' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2010, in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on May 4, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 4, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
