Calibrachoa is a genus of plants in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. They are weak evergreen short-lived perennials and subshrubs with a sprawling habit, with small petunia-type flowers. They are found across much the same region of South America as petunias, from southern Brazil across to Peru and Chile, inhabiting scrub and open grassland.
Calibrachoa are closely related to Petunia. However on further examination it has been found that there are major differences in chromosomes, corresponding to external differences and fertilization factors that distinguished the two genera. Calibrachoa is named after Antonio de la Cal y Bracho, a 19th century Mexican botanist and pharmacologist.
This is a new and distinct Calibrachoa plant, and its parts, named �Colorburst Rose� having a decumbent and compact habit. This plant grows vigorously with single flowers which have bright pink petals and a pale greenish yellow corolla throat. The plant is very resistant to rain, heat and drought conditions.
