Roll up! and be the ringmaster of your own fabulous show of bright reds, oranges and blues this summer, perfect for baskets and patio pots.
In each collection you will receive five rooted cuttings of each of the following:
- Calibrachoa 'Cabaret Bright Red': A vivid, half-hardy perennial producing an abundance of deep red, trumpet-shaped flowers with a yellow throat from late spring to the first frosts. The velvety texture of the blooms makes them perfect for cascading from hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes. Grows to 25cm.
- Calibrachoa 'Can-Can Double OrangeTastic' A summer season stunner with a profuse and long season display of vibrant and richly-coloured, burnt orange flowers, which are self-cleaning and neatly drop to the ground when they are done. These reliable mini petunias are easy to grow and show good resistance to mildew. 'Can-Can Double OrangeTastic' is ideal for scrambling over the edges of a pot or hanging basket, and combining with purples, blues and other plants in the series. Grows to 25cm.
- Calibrachoa 'Chameleon Blueberry Scone': A tender perennial (grown as an annual) with masses of attractively-marked, blue-veined white and yellow blooms throughout the summer. As the season progresses, these pretty, mini-petunias respond to changes in light, climate and other weather conditions so the blend of colours varies. Great for small spaces as these summer stars offer so much, pop them in your pots and containers for a dazzling display! Grows to 30cm.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
Grow on in a well-lit and ventilated frost free environment (such as a greenhouse, coldframe or conservatory). Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals with a high-potash fertiliser throughout summer.
