Calibrachoa (Calibrachoa)
Color Name: Red
This striking red calibrachoa features graceful, petite blooms. Suitable for hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers, it is sure to add a pop of color. It is draped in vibrant, red shades of trumpet-shaped flowers that require little maintenance. It is a compact well-branched, trailing calibrachoa. Calibrachoas are wonderful for attracting bees and hummingbirds into the garden, where they flower from May until October.
Growing Tips: To keep your calibrachoas happy and healthy plant them in full sun (6 hours or more) and be careful not to overwater them. Calibrachoa do not like "wet feet." If you notice your calibrachoas are wilting even when the soil is damp, chances are it is root rot. Water when the soil on top feels dry to the touch. If you tuck them into garden beds instead of pots, make sure the soil is well drained. No need to deadhead blossoms because these adorable plants are self-cleaning! Don't let these tiny flowers fool you! They are heavy feeders and appreciate being feed with a water soluble fertilizer. We suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Don't hesitate to prune and shape your calibrachoa as this will only help to promote new growth.
