Origin & Breeding History: 'Spanova' was bred and developed by the breeder, Leonardus Johannes Maria van de Knaap, in Naaldwijk, Netherlands, as part of a planned breeding program. It originated from a controlled cross conducted in March 2011, in Naaldwijk, between the proprietary seedling designated '20121404-01', as the female parent, and the proprietary seedling designated '20071881-28', as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, 'Spanova' was selected in June 2012 for its abundant flowers, glossy, dark green leaves, white flower colour, and good branching habit. 'Spanova' was propagated asexually by tissue culture for the first time in July 2012, in Ermelo, Netherlands. It was selected for commercialization in November 2014.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Spanova' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2015/0225, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France. The trial was conducted by the Naktuinbouw - Variety Centre, in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands, in 2016.
