A Calibrachoa plant comprising at least one inflorescence with a radially symmetric pattern along the center of the fused petal margins, wherein said pattern extends from the center of the inflorescence and does not fade during the life of the inflorescence.
A method for producing a Calibrachoa plant comprising at least one inflorescence with a radially symmetric pattern along the center of the fused petal margins, comprising
- (a) crossing, as the male or female parent, a first Calibrachoa plant comprising at least one inflorescence with said radially symmetric pattern, with a second Calibrachoa plant that does not comprise an inflorescence with said radially symmetric pattern, and
- (b) selecting progeny that have said radially symmetric pattern
- wherein said radially symmetric pattern extends from the center of the inflorescence towards the edge of the petals and does not fade during the life of the inflorescence.
A method for asexually reproducing a Calibrachoa plant having at least one inflorescence with a radially symmetric pattern along the center of the fused petal margins, comprising
- (a) obtaining a tissue cutting from said plant,
- (b) culturing said tissue cutting under conditions sufficient to produce a plantlet with roots and shoots;
- and
- (c) growing said plantlet to produce a plant,
