Description
The "Calipetite® Red" cultivar of Calibrachoa, commonly known as Million Bells, boasts vibrant red blossoms that provide an intense splash of colour to any garden space. These flowers, reminiscent of petite petunias, continue to bloom generously, adding charm to both gardens and patios. Ideal for hanging baskets and containers, the cascading effect of its blooms make it a sought-after choice among gardening enthusiasts.
For optimal growth, both in-ground and pot planting are suitable, with well-draining soil being crucial; those planting in sandy soils should consider incorporating a quality soil conditioner. "Calipetite® Red" favours full sunlight and will benefit from consistent watering, especially during Bunuru (summer). To enhance its blooming potential, it's recommended to feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser come Djilba (spring).
