Origin & Breeding History: 'DAHZ0010' originated from a cross conducted in September 2008, in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, between the female parent variety 'D08-102-1' and the male parent variety 'D07-241-3'. The new variety was developed by the breeder, Eric Giesen, as part of a controlled breeding program. The resultant seed from the cross was sown in a greenhouse in May 2009. In September 2009, a single plant from the progeny was selected by the breeder based on flower colour and plant habit.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'DAHZ0010' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2013 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on April 16, 2013. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 15, 2013. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
