Origin & Breeding History: 'IBSZ0002' originated from a controlled hybrid cross conducted by the breeder, Har Stemkens, in April 2010, in Enkhuizen, the Netherlands. The cross was made between the female parent, a proprietary seedling designated 'K1032-1'and the male parent, a proprietary seeding designated as 'K1097-1'. The resultant seed was sown in August 2010. A single seedling was selected in March 2011, in Enkhuizen, based on branching characteristics, flower number and time of flowering.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'IBSZ0002' is based on the UPOV Report of Technical Examination, application number 2014/2118, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany in Cambridge, United Kingdom in 2016. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
