#The measurements were taken in Hillscheid, Germany, in mid May 2003, 15 weeks after planting of rooted cuttings. The plants were growing in 14 cm pots; they had been pinched once.

Fruit.—Oblong, about 5-6 mm wide, rostrum (beak) 38-42 mm long. Seed.—Oblong, 4-5 mm long, brown (greyed-orange), RHS 177 B. Spring flowering response period.—In Hillscheid, Germany, in 2003 plants had on average 1.5 flowers opened 12 weeks after planting of rooted cuttings (pinched plants). Outdoor flower production.—Continuously and rich flowering, the flower count in 2003 in Hillscheid, Germany, indicated about 25-33 inflorescence per plant in late summer. Durability.—Good stability of flower color, may occasionally fade somewhat, fair resistance against “shattering” (dropping of petals). Lastingness of the individual flower.—About 8 days at 18° C. Fragrance.—None. Plant: Foliage.—Overall Shape: Ivy-shaped. Base Shape: Cordate base, with the gap between the lowest lobes slightly open to closed. Apex Shape: Apex rounded with distinct lobes. Margin: Most often somewhat crenate, or with single notches, slightly wavy. Texture: Upper surface smooth, slightly glossy. Size of leaf: 89 mm wide, about 55 mm in length. Color of upper surface: Medium green, closest to RHS 137 B. Color of zonation: Brown (greyed-orange), near RHS 166 A, distinctness: weak. Color of lower surface: Green, RHS 143 C. Petiole: 35-50 mm long, 2-3 mm diameter, light green in color, closest to RHS 143 B. General appearance and form.—Stem color: Length green, RHS 143 B. Internode length: 50-70 mm. Branching pattern: 9.3 branches on average. Size of plants: (branches initially ascending, later overhanging and somewhat trailing). Height: 21.5 cm (15 week-old plants, as described). Diameter: 26 cm (15 week-old plants, as described). Length: 26 cm (15 week-old plants, as described), and 71 cm (30 week-old plants, around September 1), measured from the top of the soil (base of the main stem) to the tips of the branches, without inflorescences.
