A new Calibrachoa plant particularly distinguished by its trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit, freely branching habit, freely flowering habit, single flowers that are burgundy in color, and good garden performance.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Calibrachoa sp.
Varietal denomination: ‘Caltraelbu’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Calibrachoa plant botanically known as Calibrachoa sp. and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Caltraelbu.’
The new Calibrachoa is the product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The new Calibrachoa cultivar is freely flowering with trailing and spreading plant habit and attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Calibrachoa originated from a cross-pollination made by the inventor in July 2003 of a proprietary selection of Calibrachoa sp. identified as code number ‘Z4012,’ not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with the Calibrachoa sp. variety ‘KLEC01055’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,171), as the male, or pollen parent. The new Calibrachoa was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Enkhuizen, Netherlands in May 2004.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings since August 2004, in Enkhuizen, Netherlands has shown that the unique features of this new Calibrachoa are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Caltraelbu’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be to the unique characteristics of ‘Caltraelbu.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Caltraelbu’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit
- 2. Freely branching habit
- 3. Freely flowering habit
- 4. Single flowers with burgundy flowers
- 5. Good garden performance
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, plants of the new Calibrachoa differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristic:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Calibrachoa have slightly more vigour than the plants of the female parent selection.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, plants of the new Calibrachoa differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristic:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Calibrachoa have a more trailing habit whereas the plants of the male parent selection are more upright.

The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Calibrachoa.
The observations and measurements describe plants grown in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, practice circumstances outdoor in window boxes during the Summer with day temperatures ranging from 14 to 30° C., night temperatures ranging from 10 to 20° C. Plants used for the photographs and description were about 10 weeks from planting rooted cuttings.
