Discover this Calibrachoa’s completely new three-dimensional colour pattern! Double PinkTastic from Selecta one truly catches the eye thanks to two bicoloured pink-white circles of inner petals in each flower. MiniFamous® Double PinkTastic looks spectacular as a stand-alone item in a pot, but also works wonders in combined containers. Flowering from spring until autumn, this beauty with its novel bicoloured pattern produces new flowers over and over again and provides a fabulous summer backdrop.
Throughout the contest the FleuroStar judges were enchanted by the trendy pink-white colour combination and the bi-coloured inner petals sparking off comments such as: ‘Each flower looks like a mini-rose and is a single work of art’. Supported by the international retail experts on the panel who almost unanimously predicted high commercial potential for this Calibrachoa, the FleuroStar 2017/18 was awarded to PinkTastic.

Background Information
Calibrachoa was named after Antonio de la Cal y Bracho, a 19th Century Mexican botanist. The species is closely related to Petunia, but displays major differences in appearance and fertilization. Anita Stöver, breeder at Selecta one: “Ever since I started breeding Calibrachoa I had this vision of creating a rose-flowered Calibrachoa. I’ve greatly improved the rooting, branching and flowering period and when I finally selected this bi-coloured double Calibrachoa, I knew it was something special.”
