국립원예특작과학원에서는 2009년 거베라 신품종 'Azalin'을 육성하였다. 'Azalin'은 분홍색 반겹꽃 'Basic'과 'Rosabella'를 교배하여 얻은 실생계통으로부터 2006년부터 2009년까지 4년 동안의 생육특성검정을 거쳐 선발된 절화용 품종이다. 꽃은 녹심의 밝은 분홍색(RHS RP68A)으로, 평균 직경이 10.6cm인 반겹꽃 대륜계통이다. 꽃목 직경은 상부 3.70mm, 하부 5.49mm 정도로 굵었다. 평균 개화소요일수가 88.5일로 대조품종보다 8.7일 빠른 조기개화성 품종이며, 연간절화수량도 55.8본/주로 대조품종보다 7.4본/주 더 많은 다수성 품종이다. A new gerbera (Gerbera hybrid Hort.) 'Azalin' was bred by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science in 2009. 'Basic' and 'Rosabella' which had pink color and semi-double flower were crossed in 2006. After investigation of the characteristics for four years (from 2006 to 2009), it was selected specially for the use of cut flower. The 'Azalin' had brilliant pink color (RHS RP68A) with green disc center. The flower was semi-double and 10.6 cm in diameter. It had a thick peduncle of which upper and lower width were 3.7 mm and 5.5 mm, respectively. The average days to first flowering of 'Azalin', 88.5 days, was approximately 8.7 days earlier than the control cultivar. And its average yield, 55.8 stems per plant, was also 7.4 stems per plants more than the control cultivar.
