Origin & Breeding History: 'Balandlae' originated from a self-pollination conducted on July 15, 2003 in Arroyo Grande, California, U.S.A. as part of a controlled breeding program. The female parent was the proprietary breeding selection designated 'BFP 958-A' and characterized by its medium pink and yellow inflorescence, dark green foliage and upright plant growth habit. 'Balandcit' was selected on April 27, 2004 based on its flower colour, plant growth habit and early flowering characteritstics which meet the product specifications for its series.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Balandlae' were conducted during the spring of 2008 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants per variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 13, 2008. Measured characteristics were based on measurements taken from 10 plants or parts of plants of each variety on July 4, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
