Origin & Breeding History: 'VEAZ0017' was developed by the breeder, Henricus Godefridus Wilhelmus Stemkens, of Syngenta Seeds B.V. in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, as part of a controlled breeding program. It originated from a cross conducted in August 2007 between the proprietary line designated 'J0417-8' as the female parent, and the proprietary line designated 'H0811-8' as the male parent. The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in February 2008, and 'VEAZ0017' was selected in August 2008 based on its flower colour and plant growth habit.

Tests & Trials: The trial of 'VEAZ0017' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2013 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 11, 2013. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of plants of each variety on May 28, 2013. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
