Mini Famous® varieties of Calibrachoa stand up well to heat, wind, and rain and offer a semi-trailing or cascading habit that looks gorgeous in containers, hanging baskets, or in mass plantings as a border or edging crop!

Planting Instructions:

- Plant in spring after the last frost date

Fertilizer Type:

- Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 7-14 days during the growing season
- Choose a fertilizer with micronutrients, especially iron

Pruning and Training:

- Pinch back growing tips early in the season to encourage bushiness
- Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming
- Trim back leggy growth to maintain shape

Additional Pest Management:

- Watch for common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites
- Monitor for diseases such as root rot and botrytis, especially in humid conditions

Double Amethyst Calibrachoa

plants arrived in good condition. They were a little slow to bloom but once they started they were beautiful.

From Patti | August 31, 2018

Nice little plant

This is a nice plant, but it is a slow grower. I am anxious to see it bloom!

MiniFamous Double Amethyst

This was my first time ordering plants online so I did not know what to expect. A few of the plants I ordered came in a separate shipment about 1 week after the bulk of my order. The company contacted me first to notify me that the plants weren't quite ready. I appreciate that they didn't send them too soon and decrease their chance of survival. So far everything is doing very well! Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Lovely and delicate Calibrachoa

I had not realized that the blooms were very small. MiniFamous Double Amethyst fits in perfectly with the Dianthus in the raised bed for wheelchairs.

Purple!!!

I just got these Calibrachoa plants. They were already blooming when they arrived. They are beautiful, strong, and adjusting nicely to their new potted container.

From Veronica | July 29, 2012

Excellent plants!!!

My plants arrived very healthy and so well packed I was pleasantly surprised. I order a lot of plants online and they are usually half dead when they get to me. These plants were beautiful! I thought the shipping was a bit high, but after seeing how they were packed and how healthy the plants were I realized the shipping was very reasonable. I highly recommend purchasing your plants from this company...you can't go wrong!

Beauitful Purple Flowers

Once they took off growing they were the prettiest little purple flowers. I put them in a large hanging basket and they are beautiful. Will buy them again.

I bought 4 plants each of a different color. They were properly packed and soon they began to bloom. I presently have a beautiful hanging basket with an array of beautiful colors!

From Norah | July 05, 2012

Good Idea

The Calibrachoa plants are still establishing, but are healthy and I await the next wave of flowers.

Calibrachoa Question

Have 3 Minifamous Calibrachoa plants, do I need to prune them as they are becoming straggly. No directions for doing this. Tried tip pruning and didn't seem to like it? Answer: No you do not prune Calibrachoa plants, they are supposed to trail. Try giving them a bit more fertilizer when watering.
