Plant Features

SuperCal® Premium Bordeaux Petchoa Plants produce extra-large, deep red flowers with fine veining that offers an impressive habit that tolerates wind, rain, and the heat, all without missing a beat. They do best in full sun locations with well-drained soils. Petchoa preforms well in beds, baskets, and containers.

Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.5

Watering Specifics:

  • - Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season
  • - Switch to a bloom-boosting fertilizer (higher phosphorus) in mid-summer

Pruning and Training:

  • - Pinch back growing tips early in the season to encourage bushier growth
  • - Trim back by one-third if plants become leggy in midsummer

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and thrips

  • - Blooms continuously from spring through fall

Light Requirements:

  • - Prefers full sun for best flowering
  • - Can tolerate partial shade, but flowering may be reduced

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - More heat-tolerant than traditional petunias
  • - Not frost-hardy; treat as an annual in colder climates

Companion Plants for Petchoa:

  • - Verbena: Their clusters of small flowers contrast nicely with Petchoa's larger blooms
  • - Lobelia: The delicate flowers and trailing habit of Lobelia complement Petchoa well
  • - Sweet Potato Vine: Its colorful foliage provides a nice contrast to Petchoa's flowers

Great, healthy, bloomers!

The plants arrived safe and sound. They are good starter size and quickly grow. Blooms aplenty! I haven't noticed any hummingbirds at them. The blooms do get white spots on them as they start to fade and die. However, there are so many of them it's not that noticeable.
