DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT

[0014] The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions and carried out in a greenhouse from winter through summer in Dresden, Germany. The new variety was grown in a 19 cm pot, with treatment of Cycocel® 720 0.2% five times, and two pinchings. The readings and measurements were taken on a 9-month old plant in a room with a window, but without direct sunlight or artificial light. Color references are primarily to the 1995 edition of the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
