Origin and Breeding<br />

Seedling selection: seed parent ‘Big Blue’. The seed parent is characterised by a broad<br />

leaf width and a light violet coloured flower. Approximately 20,000 seedlings were<br />

grown in 2002 and then 600 grown on in the ground. In 2003 7 plants were selected as<br />

having desirable traits including narrow leaf width. Finally in 2005 one of these plants<br />

was selected due to its narrow leaf width combined with tall inflorescence height,<br />

purple flower colour and upright flowering habit. Selection took place in Clarendon,<br />

NSW. Selection criteria: narrow leaf width, tall inflorescence height, purple flower<br />

colour and upright flowering habit. Propagation: vegetative, micropropagation and<br />

division is found to be uniform and stable. Breeder: Todd Layt, Clarendon, NSW.<br />
