Origin & Breeding History: 'INCHADIACL' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder, Birgit Hofmann, an employee of InnovaPlant Zierpflanzen GmbH & Co. KG in Gensingen, Germany. In September 2014, the cross was made between two proprietary seedlings, the female parent designated 'Ch13-5000-13' and the male parent designated 'Cha13-5020-2', in Heidesheim, Germany. In March 2017, 'INCHADIACL' was selected as a single plant based on its mounding plant growth habit, dense branching, double flower type and rooting quality. 'INCHADIACL' was first propagated by vegetative cuttings in March 2017 in Gensingen, Germany.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'INCHADIACL' was conducted in a polyhouse at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario during the summer of 2020. The trial included a total of 20 plants of both the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on April 20, 2020. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on June 4, 2020. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
