Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEPP06124' arose from a controlled cross between the proprietary seedling, 'P20028' and 'Royal White' conducted in Stuttgart, Germany in 2002. From this cross, 91 seedlings were selected for flower colour. One of these selections, 'KLEPP06124', was evaluated in greenhouse trials in 2004 where it was assessed for growth habit and branching characteristics.

Tests & Trials: The comparative test and trial of 'KLEPP06124' was conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2008 at Bioflora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 20 plants of each variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings transplanted into 30 cm hanging baskets on May 14, 2008. Each basket contained 4 cuttings with a total of 5 baskets per variety. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on July 18, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
