Description
 
Maintenance Notes:
Calibrachoa are usually easiest to grow in containers because if the roots are kept too wet can lead to root rot diseases, but Superbells® Garden Rose breaks that mold, not minding damp soils and surviving when other Calibrachoa would falter. It is still best if you allow the top of the soil to dry in containers before watering again. If your plant is wilting even though the soil is still damp you likely have a root rot problem, although this is much less of a problem for Garden Rose than it is for other Calibrachoa. Garden Rose is also fantastic planted in the ground in many soil types. In the ground they shouldn't need much additional water unless conditions are very dry. Proper watering is key to growing good Calibrachoa, as is true with most plants.

As the season goes on the plants can sometimes just start to look open and not as good. This can happen even if they are being watered and fertilized correctly. Fortunately this is very simple to fix. Grab a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears and give the plants an all over trim. This will cause them to branch out more and should stimulate new growth and flowering, especially if you fertilize right after trimming them back. Just like your hair looks a lot better after a trim, your plants often will too. You will sacrifice flowers for a few days, but the plants should come back flowering more than ever shortly. I will usually give my Superbells a trim back in late July or early August. Should your plants have a few unruly stems that are longer than everything else or sticking our oddly, you can trim these stems back at anytime. Calibrachoa are very forgiving when it comes to trimming.

An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

The groundbreaking new Superbells® Garden Rose is the first in a brand new line of Calibrachoa bred for landscape use rather than containers, though it performs admirably in containers too. It is extremely vigorous, quickly covering 2-3 feet of ground, and blooms all summer without deadheading, even in hot, humid weather.

Woo-hoo! There is nothing more super than Superbells. If there was a word that meant extra, extra super it still wouldn't be as super as we are. Calibrachoas are a new type of plants that sort of look like little Petunias, which makes sense seeing as we're related. Only Superbells aren't sticky, perk right back up after it rains, and stay compact and bushy even when we are stressed.

Superbells are Proven Winners' newest Calibrachoas. We're the ones covered with hundreds of flowers from early spring all the way through those first light frosts. Just 6 - 10 inches tall, our long, long, trailing branches cascade over the sides of hanging baskets and other containers, and spread over flower beds. Hummingbirds are cuckoo about us.

Vigor, heat tolerance and resistance to disease are traits we all share. So is being an annual except in zones 9 - 11. You don't have to deadhead old flowers or pinch back stems. Water only when the top of the soil feels dry. Full sun. Fertilize once a month. How extra double super easy is that?
