Abstract
The new cultivar has a leading bright violet flower with great luminosity. It has a compact round growth habit and zoned leaves. It flowers continuously during the summer, beautiful in all weather and exhibits a very good garden performance. This mass-propagation variety is early to flower with very big umbels and produces an economical, high cutting yield without problems. It is suitable for all purposes, such as for early selling as potted plants, for use in window boxes or as bedding plants. The new cultivar is an improvement in comparison to the old violet variety "PAC Rospen".
