Origin & Breeding History: The hydrangea variety 'HBA749077' originated from a cross made in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in July 1999. The objectives of the breeding program were to create new hydrangea varieties with attractive flower colour and no vernalization requirement. The new variety was selected by the breeder in March 2001 in Glandorf, Germany. Propagation by vegetative cuttings was first conducted in March 2003 in Glandorf, Germany.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'HBA749077' were conducted in polyhouse during the spring of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 10 plants of the candidate variety and reference variety. All plants were grown from cuttings rooted April 2008, and transplanted into 15 cm pots in May 2008. All plants were transplanted to 1 gallon containers in the spring of 2009. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plant parts of each variety on June 16, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
