Abstract

A new and distinct Calibrachoa cultivar named ‘CCZLA02-0’ is disclosed, characterized by large flowers of a purple color with a yellow center. The new variety is a Calibrachoa, normally produced as an ornamental outdoor garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Calibrachoa sp.
Variety denomination: ‘CCZLA02-0’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new Calibrachoa cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Jun Tsukahara in Yame, Fukuoka, Japan The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Calibrachoa varieties for commercial ornamental applications. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during September 2007.
The seed parent is an unpatented, unnamed proprietary seedling variety of Calibrachoa with a light purple flower. The pollen parent is an unpatented, unnamed proprietary seedling variety of Calibrachoa with a bright purple flower. The new variety was discovered in May, 2008 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2007 crossing, in a research greenhouse in Yame, Fukuoka, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘CCZLA02-0’ by tissue culture was first performed at a research laboratory in Yame, Fukuoka, Japan in May, 2008. Subsequently, the new variety has been propagated by vegetative cuttings, and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘CCZLA02-0’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘CCZLA02-0’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘CCZLA02-0’ as a new and distinct Calibrachoa cultivar:
    • 1. Large flower size
    • 2. Clear purple flower with a yellow center
    • 3. Trailing plant habit
PARENT COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CCZLA02-0’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, an unpatented, unnamed proprietary seedling variety of Calibrachoa with a light purple flower, in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘CCZLA02-0’ produce larger flowers. Additionally, plants of the new cultivar are less trailing, with shorter stems and wider leaves than the seed parent.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CCZLA02-0’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, an unpatented, unnamed proprietary seedling variety of Calibrachoa with a bright purple flower, in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘CCZLA02-0’ produce a lighter colored flower. Additionally, plants of the new cultivar are more trailing, with longer stems than the pollen parent
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CCZLA02-0’ are best compared to the variety Calibrachoa ‘SUNbel kopachip’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,092. The two Calibrachoa varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however the new variety has larger flowers of a lighter purple flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘CCZLA02-0’ grown in a greenhouse, in a 6 inch pot. FIG. 2 illustrates in full color a close up of a typical bloom. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 4 months from 5 rooted cuttings. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
