Origin & Breeding History: 'Fishelsh' originated from a hybridization between the female parent seedling 'K93-484-4' and the male parent seedling 'K93-401-15', conducted in the summer of 2002, in Hillscheid, Germany. The seeds of the resultant offspring were taken to Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain where 'Fishelsh' was selected as a single seedling in the spring of 2003. Cuttings from 'Fishelsh' were taken back to Hillscheid for further selection and trial cultivation which began in the spring of 2004. 'Fishelsh' was selected based on flower colour, foliage colour, flowering response and plant growth habit.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Fishelsh' is based on the UPOV Report of Technical Examination, application number PEL 2242, purchased from the Bundessortenamt, Hannover, Germany. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany in 2008. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
