Calibrachoa hybrids are fun garden choices
With their tall stems that proudly display a colorful array of flowers, calibrachoa hybrid plants are some of my favorite annual plants to use in the landscape.
Their slender stems reach out gracefully, adorned with small, trumpet-shaped blooms that come in hues from fiery reds to soothing blues, and every shade in between. Each delicate flower carries its own unique pattern, adding an enchanting touch to their overall appearance.
Foliage is lush and dense, forming a backdrop to showcase the brilliance of their beautiful blossoms. Leaves are small, oval-shaped and a rich green, the perfect contrast to the vivid flowers.
Calibrachoa plants thrive in environments with plenty of sunlight, basking in its warmth to fuel growth and blooming performance. They prefer well-drained soil, allowing roots to spread and access nutrients needed to sustain vitality.
Despite their delicate appearance, calibrachoa are surprisingly resilient. They can withstand periods of drought with relative ease, thanks to their ability to store water in their tissues. Their natural defenses prevent pests and diseases from becoming a major concern.
One of my favorites, Superbells Magic Pink Lemonade, stands out as a true marvel of nature. Its mesmerizing pink and yellow blended blooms, adorned with a sunny yellow throat, evoke the refreshing allure of pink lemonade on a warm summer day. Their delicate hues blend seamlessly and captivate admirers.
Another beloved favorite is Superbells Double Redstone, a plant that commands attention with its striking double blooms in vibrant red.
Highlighted with sunny yellow along the edges of each petal, these irresistible flowers draw onlookers with their sheer brilliance. Their high impulse appeal makes them a perfect choice for adding a bold statement to a garden or landscape design, especially when paired with complementary colors like royal purple.
Speaking of royal purple, Colibri Plum reigns supreme with regal blooms in rich shades of purple, accented by bright yellow throats. This variety adds majesty to garden settings, as blossoms stand out like jewels amid a sea of green foliage.
Perhaps one of the most delightful surprises in the world of calibrachoa hybrids is Superbells Holy Cow!
True to its name, this cultivar boasts flowers that are as fun and flirty as they are charming. With a soft yellow base adorned by playful pink splotches and a dark yellow center, each bloom is a whimsical masterpiece designed to bring a smile to the face of those who behold it.
I adore calibrachoa hybrids for their low-maintenance nature and continuous blooming habit, which make them a favorite choice for adding a pop of color to the landscape. Whether cascading gracefully from hanging baskets, spilling over the edges of containers, or forming a colorful border in garden beds, they bring beauty and charm wherever they grow.
