In May 2007, a single plant was selected based on criteria for flower colour, plant habit and production characteristics.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'VEAZ0008' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2012 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 2, 2012.
