diameter 52cm), many branches, highly floriferous, roots<br />

absent at nodes. Stem: internodes short, anthocyanin absent,<br />

pubescence weak, colour yellow green (RHS ca <strong>14</strong>4A),<br />

flowers distributed along the axis. Leaf: small, (average<br />

length 19mm, average width 5mm), shape ellipticoblanceolate,<br />

cross sectional shape straight, margin entire,<br />

margin undulation absent, apex acute, upper side colour<br />

(Note: all RHS colour chart numbers refer to 1995 edition).<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />

‘J100’ x pollen parent ‘J353’. The parents have medium<br />

blue flower colour and trailing growth habit. Both parents<br />

are breeding stock plants within breeder’s private<br />

collection. Hybridisation took place in Stuttgart, Germany<br />

in 1997 and first flowers were observed on the new variety<br />

in 1999. Selection criteria: flower colour, earliness, growth<br />

habit. Propagation: mature stock plants were generated<br />

from this seedling through tissue culture and were found to<br />

be uniform and stable. ‘KLEC00069’ will be commercially<br />

propagated by vegetative cuttings from elite stock plants<br />

from disease indexed tissue cultures. Marketed in <strong>Australia</strong><br />

under the trade name “Selecta Light Blue”. Breeder:<br />

Siegfried Klemm, Stuttgart, Germany.<br />

Choice of Comparators Initially ‘Sunbelkubu’ A syn<br />

Trailing Blue A , ‘Sanberubu’ A syn Blue Chimes A ,<br />

‘Liricashower Blue’, ‘Selbiblue’ (marketed as “Selecta<br />

Basket Blue”) and ‘KLEC00070’ (marketed as “Selecta<br />

Dark Blue”) were selected as potential comparators in the<br />

purple violet colour group of Calibrachoa. ‘Sanberubu’ A<br />

24<br />

syn Blue Chimes A was rejected as it has a more upright,<br />

bushy growth habit. All others were retained as they all fall<br />

within the trailing plant habit group. The parents were not<br />

included for reasons stated above. No other similar varieties<br />

were identified.<br />

Comparative Trial Location: Macquarie Fields, summer<br />

2000-2001. Conditions: trial conducted in open beds<br />

initially and transferred to a polyhouse for rain protection<br />

during flowering, plants propagated from cutting, rooted<br />

cuttings planted into 125mm standard pots filled with<br />

soilless potting mix, nutrition maintained with slow release<br />

and liquid fertilisers, pest and disease treatments applied as<br />

required. Trial design: fifteen pots of each variety arranged<br />

in a completely randomised design. Measurements: from<br />

ten plants at random. One sample per plant.<br />
