Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Calibrachoa plant named ‘Docalalnatropic’, characterized by its semi-upright to outwardly spreading, trailing and decumbent plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; large flowers with yellow-colored petals with random red purple-colored speckles; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Calibrachoa X hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DOCALALNATROPIC’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Calibrachoa plant, botanically known as Calibrachoa X hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Docalalnatropic’.
The new Calibrachoa plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of a proprietary selection of Calibrachoa X hybrida identified as code number AA14-002732-006, not patented. The new Calibrachoa plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the mutation parent selection in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany in May, 2018.
Asexual reproduction of the new Calibrachoa plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany since June, 2018 has shown that the unique features of this new Calibrachoa plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Calibrachoa have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Docalalnatropic’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Docalalnatropic’ as a new and distinct Calibrachoa plant:
    • 1. Semi-upright to outwardly spreading, trailing and decumbent plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Early and freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Large flowers with yellow-colored petals with random red purple-colored speckles.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
The new Calibrachoa can be compared to plants of the mutation parent selection. Plants of the new Calibrachoa differ primarily from plants of the mutation parent selection in the flower color as plants of the mutation parent selection have red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Calibrachoa can be compared to plants of Calibrachoa sp. ‘Docalalnarec’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Calibrachoa differ primarily from plants of ‘Docalalnarec’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Calibrachoa have slightly larger flowers than plants of ‘Docalalnarec’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Calibrachoa and ‘Docalalnarec’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Docalalnatropic’ have yellow-colored petals with random red purple-colored speckles whereas plants of ‘Docalalnarec’ have red purple-colored flowers with yellow-colored centers.
    • 3. Plants of the new Calibrachoa have narrower sepals than plants of ‘Docalalnarec’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 on the first sheet (FIG. 1 of 2) is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Docalalnatropic’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 of 2) is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Docalalnatropic’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the spring in 13-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Rheinberg, Germany and under cultural practices typical of commercial Calibrachoa production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 18° C. and light levels averaged 1,500 lux. Rooted young plants were pinched one time three weeks after planting and were twelve weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fifth Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
