Appeared first in US catalogues in the 1990’s. This is probably a rebranding of an older cultivar(s), and the old Wintzer classic ‘Gladiator’ springs to mind.
The stock seems to vary between sellers and it may well be that there are several different varieties being marketed in the USA as ‘Golden Lucifer’.
