Calibrachoa (Calibrachoa)
Color Name: Neo Double Pink
This adorable double pink calibrachoa features graceful, petite blooms. Suitable for hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers, it is sure to add splash of whimsy with its cute double blossoms. This calibrachoa is draped in soft pink shades of trumpet-shaped flowers that require little maintenance. 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. When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
