Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Calibrachoa plant named ‘USCAL53002’, characterized by its compact, mounding and outwardly spreading plant habit; vigorous and freely branching growth habit; dense and bushy appearance; freely flowering habit; small dark yellow-colored flowers; and good garden and summer performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Calibrachoa sp.
Cultivar denomination: ‘USCAL53002’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Calibrachoa plant, botanically known as Calibrachoa sp. and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘USCAL53002’.
The new Calibrachoa plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and Bonsall, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Calibrachoa plants with uniform plant habit, freely branching growth habit, attractive small flowers and good summer performance.
The new Calibrachoa plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor on May 5, 2006 in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan of a proprietary seedling selection of Calibrachoa sp. identified as code number C423-01, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary seedling selection of Calibrachoa sp. identified as code number C445-02, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Calibrachoa plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Bonsall, Calif. on Jul. 17, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Calibrachoa plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Bonsall, Calif. since Jul. 20, 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Calibrachoa plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Calibrachoa have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘USCAL53002’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘USCAL53002’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Calibrachoa:
-
- 1. Compact, mounding and outwardly spreading plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous and freely branching growth habit; dense and bushy appearance.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Small dark yellow-colored flowers.
- 5. Good garden and summer performance.
The new Calibrachoa plant can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Calibrachoa differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Calibrachoa flower earlier than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Calibrachoa have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Calibrachoa and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have light yellow-colored flowers.
The new Calibrachoa plant can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Calibrachoa differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Calibrachoa are more freely branching than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Calibrachoa have smaller flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Calibrachoa can be compared to plants of the Calibrachoa ‘USCALI402-1’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,480. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bonsall, Calif., plants of the new Calibrachoa differed from plants of ‘USCALI402-1’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Calibrachoa had more rounded flowers than plants of ‘USCALI402-1’.
- 2. Plants of the new Calibrachoa had darker yellow-colored flowers than plants of ‘USCALI402-1’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Calibrachoa plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Calibrachoa plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘USCAL53002’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up of typical flowers and leaves of ‘USCAL53002’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 15-cm containers in Bonsall, Calif., under commercial practice during the summer and early autumn in an outdoor nursery with day temperatures ranging from 18° C. to 38° C. and night temperatures ranging from 9° C. to 18° C. Plants were pinched one time and were three months old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
