Consensus has been established via discussion at WP:PLANTS and previous AfDs/PRODs that individual cultivars are not presumed notable in the same way as natural species, and must meet GNG to have a standalone article. Database and commercial catalog entries are not considered sufficient for this purpose. I found no WP:SIGCOV of this cultivar on a search and my source analysis shows that what's in the article is insufficient for keeping it:

1. Primary source from breeders
2. The only reliable and independent source in the article
3. Commercial product listings are usually not accepted as indications of notability
4. Not independent - "Garden Debut" program that the cultivar was released under is owned by Greenleaf (see [1])
5. Both sources in ref 5 are lists of cultivars approved for use by the state, not significant coverage
6. Garden Debut is not independent, see #4, and the Sooner Plant Farm is another commercial listing, see #3 ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
