Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'KLEOE08125' originated from a pollination made in Stuttgart, Germany in July 2002. The cross was between the variety 'Flower Power Amethyst and a proprietary seedling designated SA 002. Approximately 500 seedlings were selected based on criteria for compact growth habit, early flowering and good branching. One of these seedlings was designated 'KLEOE08125'. The variety was evaluated in greenhouse trials in Stuttgart and assessed for early flowering, compact growth habit, flower colour and good branching. Outdoor trials were conducted to assess plant vigour and abundant continuous flowering.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLEOE08125' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of fifteen plants of the candidate and reference varieties. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 11 cm pots on August 5, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from ten plants or parts of plants on September 24, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
