Origin & Breeding History: 'Indiaimpab' originated from a cross conducted in July 2004, in Gensingen, Germany between the female parent, variety 'Little Dancer' and the male parent, a proprietary seedling designated D 04 14-3. It was the product of a planned breeding program conducted by the breeder Silvia Hofmann. 'Indiaimpab' was selected in May 2005 from the resultant seedlings based on plant growth habit, branching characteristics, flower size and flower colour.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Indiaimpab' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2009 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 April 7, 2009. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 12, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
