Origin & Breeding History: 'PKMFOR168' originated from a cross made in 2002 at Sohus, Denmark, between two un-named proprietary selections. The variety was selected in 2002 to 2003, based on its high number of cuttings per stock plant, short vernalization period, short forcing time after vernalization and deep violet flower colour.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'PKMFOR168' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2008/1903, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by The National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB) in Cambridge, United Kingdom, in 2009. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
