1. A new and distinct variety of Calibrachoa plant, substantially as illustrated and described herein.

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Calibrachoa sp.

Variety denomination: ‘KLECA06126’.

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a new and distinct Calibrachoa hybrid that has been given the name ‘KLECA06126’. The claimed plant is the product of a controlled breeding program carried out by the inventor at Stuttgart, Germany. ‘KLECA06126’ was selected in 2005 from a group of seedlings that were obtained as a result of a cross in 2004 between female parent ‘X 436’ (unpatented) and male parent ‘W 403’ (unpatented). Asexual propagation of ‘KLECA06126’ was carried out in at Stuttgart in 2005 by cutting and by in vitro shoot-tip culture. The characteristics of the claimed plant have been shown to be stable and reproduce true to type through multiple generations of asexual propagation.

‘KLECA06126’ is distinguished as to novelty by the following characteristics:

The claimed plant is distinguishable from its parents by a number of features, as set forth in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1
‘X 436’ ‘W 403’ ‘KLECA06126’
Flower type Double Single Double
Number of petals More than 5 5 More than 5
Branching Less branching Good branching Good branching

‘KLECA06126’ can also be compared with similar variety ‘M. F. Pink (S51)’ (not patented). The double flower of ‘KLECA06126’ having more than 5 petals is distinguishable from the single, 5 petal flowers of ‘M. F. Pink (S51)’.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a close up illustration of a typical flower of ‘KLECA06126’; and

FIG. 2 is an illustration of a typical plant of ‘KLECA06126’ showing the leaves and flowers of the claimed plant.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

The following detailed botanical description is based on observations made during March 2006 at Stuttgart, Germany. The observed plants were approximately five months old, grown in 12 cm plastic pots in a glass-covered greenhouse. All colors are described according to the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. It should be understood that the characteristics described will vary somewhat depending upon fertilization, cultural practices, and climatic conditions, and can vary with location and season. Quantified measurements are expressed as an average of measurements taken from a number of individual plants of the new variety. The measurements of any individual plant, or any group of plants, of the new variety may vary from the stated average.
