Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEOE20555' was bred and developed by the breeder Maike Boxriker in Stuttgart, Germany in August 2015. The new variety originated from a cross pollination conducted between the female parent 'OE-2015-2178' and the male parent 'OE-2014-1322'. From the resulting progeny, a single seedling was selected in April 2016 based on plant growth habit and branching, flower colour and cold tolerance. The seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from September 2016 to 2019.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEOE20555' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2021/1181, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany, in 2022. Colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
