Origin & Breeding History: 'Kiecasal' originated from a cross which took place in 2000 in Venhuizen, The Netherlands. The female parent was an inbred breeding line designated 'K138/97' and the male parent was another inbred breeding line designated 'K156/97'. 'Keicabul' was selected in 2001 based on its uniformity, stability and salmon coloured flowers appropriate for use in the Spring Fling series.

Tests & Trials: The test and trial for 'Kiecasal' was conducted in a polyhouse at Variety Rights Management in Oxford Station, Ontario during the summer of 2005. The trial included 15 plants of each variety grown in 10 cm pots. The plants were spaced 13 cm apart. All colour characteristics were determined using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) colour chart and measured characteristics were based on ten measurements.
