Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEPZ17484' originated from a cross-pollination conducted between the female parent 'Sil Magnus' and the male parent 'PAC Abelina' in the summer of 2012 by Martin Glawe in Stuttgart, Germany. The resulting seedlings were selected in May 2013 based on plant growth habit and dark red flower colour. The selected seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from 2012 to 2016. A single seedling was selected for commercialization and designated 'KLEPZ17484' in May 2014 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEPZ17484' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number PEL 2773, purchased from the Bundessortenamt, Hannover, Germany where the trials were conducted in 2018. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
