Calibrachoa plant named ‘KLECA07146’

#Genus and species: Calibrachoa hybrid.

#Variety denomination: ‘KLECA07146’.

#The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Calibrachoa, botanically known as Calibrachoa hybrid and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘KLECA07146’. The new cultivar originated from a hybridization made in summer of 2004 in Stuttgart, Germany. The female parent was the proprietary Calibrachoa plant ‘U 100’ (unpatented), having dark pink flowers with dark red eyes, while the male parent was an unknown Calibrachoa plant.

#This new Calibrachoa plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows flowers and foliage of the plant; the colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photograph is of a five-month-old Calibrachoa plant, grown in a greenhouse in Stuttgart, Germany, between January and May 2007.

#The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘KLECA07146’. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Stuttgart, Germany. The plant history was taken on five-month-old plants which were planted as rooted cuttings in 11-cm pots between January and May 2007 and then grown in a greenhouse. The plants had one terminal pinch one week after potting. Color readings were taken under natural light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (RHS) (2001).
