Calibrachoa Superbells (Superbells)
Color Name: White
Profuse pure white mini petunia-like flowers on a semi-upright habit. It is a strong summer performer with superior heat tolerance. Great as a stand alone or in combination with other components. Using Superbells white adds brightness to any patio container, hanging basket or landscape.
Growing Tips: Plant in full sun and don"t overwater. Calibrachoa don"t like wet feet. If you notice a plant is wilting even when the soil is damp, chances are, it"s root rot. Water when soil on top feels dry to the touch. If you tuck them into garden beds instead of pots, make sure soil is well drained or plant in raised beds. You won"t have to deadhead blossoms because plants are bred to be self-cleaning. More suggestions from experts at Proven Winners: Fertilize regularly. Plants are sensitive to both high and low pH. If plants look tired or foliage is yellowing, there are two possibilities. If you haven"t been fertilizing regularly, they could need a balanced, 20-10-20 water-soluble fertilizer. If the foliage is yellow and you have been fertilizing, the soil pH range may be too high or low and iron can no longer be taken up by the plant. You can try to lower (or raise) the pH or apply chelated iron, available in a wide pH range, or find a foliar spray with iron. Plants should respond by greening up. In late summer, plants may not look so good, even with proper care. Give plants a haircut to stimulate new growth and branching, then fertilize immediately. You"ll sacrifice flowers for several days, but plants should begin blooming again.
