Origin & Breeding History: 'Ballany177' originated from a cross pollination conducted by the breeder in June 2016 in Guadalupe, California, USA. The cross was made between the female parent proprietary selection coded '3599-A' and the male parent variety 'LANZ0002' (tradename Bandana Peach). The new variety was selected in May of 2017 based on its growth habit and flower colour. Asexual propagation since that time has been through terminal stem cuttings.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Ballany177' was conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2022 at Bioflora Inc., 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 15 cm pots on April 10, 2022. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of 10 plants of each variety on June 27, 2022. All colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart. Mean differences were significant at the 5% confidence probability level based on a paired Student's t-test.
