Origin & Breeding History: 'KLECA10218' originated from a controlled pollination conducted in the summer of 2007 between the female parent proprietary seedling 'X 127' and the male parent proprietary seedling 'CA 06 0144'. The new Calibrachoa variety was bred and developed by Anita Stoever in Stuttgart, Germany. Seedlings were selected in May 2008, in Stuttgart, based on plant habit and flower colour. The seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials in Stuttgart and assessed for early flowering, plant habit and branching. Outdoor performance trials were conducted to assess continuous flowering, flower abundance and tolerance to weather and disease. A single seedling was selected for commercialization and named 'KLECA10218' in August 2009.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'KLECA10218' were conducted during the summer of 2012 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 30 cm hanging baskets on May 15, 2012. Each basket contained 4 cuttings with a total of 5 baskets per variety. All baskets were flowered in an outdoor area. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 27, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
