Description
The "Starjump Blue" cultivar of Calibrachoa boasts exquisite blossoms: deep purple edges that fade to a soft pinkish-purple, all converging on a bright yellow starburst centre. These vibrant hues are on display during Djilba and Kambarang (spring and early summer), offering a visual treat for any garden or home setting. Gardeners can embrace this cultivar as a centrepiece in mixed plantings, or let it shine solo in pots and hanging baskets, creating a cascade of colour.
When choosing to plant "Starjump Blue" in the ground, particularly in sandy regions, incorporating soil conditioner will significantly boost the soil quality, favouring the plant's development. Sun-loving by nature, this cultivar revels in full light exposure and appreciates consistently moist soil, with a slight increase in watering during the peak of Bunuru (summer). For a more vibrant flowering season, a hint of balanced liquid fertiliser applied in Djilba (spring) will work wonders.
