Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date
  • - Space plants 8-12 inches apart in containers, hanging baskets, or landscape beds
  • - Superbells Calibrachoa are versatile and can be used as trailing plants or groundcover

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.2 (slightly acidic)
  • - Use well-draining, peat-based potting mix for containers

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
  • - Superbells are more drought-tolerant than many Calibrachoa varieties

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 10-14 days during the growing season
  • - Choose a fertilizer with micronutrients, especially iron
  • - For landscape plants, use a slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer

Pruning and Training:

  • - Minimal pruning required; Superbells are self-cleaning and don't need deadheading
  • - If plants become leggy, trim back by about one-third to encourage bushiness
  • - For hanging baskets, occasional trimming can help maintain a balanced 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
  • - Superbells have good resistance to many common plant diseases

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Produces an abundance of bell-shaped flowers, larger than typical Calibrachoa
  • - Blooms continuously from spring through fall without deadheading

Light Requirements:

  • - Prefers full sun for best flowering and compact growth
  • - Can tolerate partial shade, but may become leggy and produce fewer flowers

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - More heat-tolerant than many Calibrachoa varieties
  • - Can tolerate light frost, but protect when temperatures drop below 35°F

The best

I enjoy comparing cultivars. Here are my Calibrachoa ratings Superbells Pomegranate Punch: 4.8 Excellent. Best color, most interesting color., floriferous, large flowers. There seems to be a fairly long period flushes of bloom. Aloha Kona Hot Pink: 4.6 Excellent. Equally large and floriferous. Showy. Always in bloom. Minifamous Red Vampire. 4.2. Very good. Bright true red, smaller flowers. Calitastic Red Lips. Duller red. 4.0 Okay, but not as attractive as any of the above. Cabaret Red. Okay.3.5 Duller red, smaller flowers, less vigorous.. Similar color to Red Lips, just okay. Conga Red. 3.0 Less attractive color mediocre orangey red.
