Bumble Bee Orange Calibrachoa (Calibrachoa hybrida ‘Balbumorim’) delivers a cascade of bright orange flowers with a starry yellow center, perfect for adding vivid pops of color to containers, hanging baskets, or sunny borders. Its trailing, mounded form reaches about 6 to 12 inches high and spreads 12 to 24 inches, providing excellent coverage in a short time. Each oversized bloom shines against lush green foliage, drawing in pollinators from spring into late summer. No wonder it stands out among other calibrachoas with its striking bicolor petals and nonstop flower power.

This easy-growing annual is heat tolerant and resilient, making it a favorite in warmer climates where other flowering plants may struggle. The decorative blooms are known to stay open in lower light conditions, allowing for flexible placement around decks or patios. It can handle partial sun if needed, but loves to soak up at least six hours of direct light each day. Whether you choose to showcase it solo in a decorative pot or mix it with other flowers, Bumble Bee Orange adds an energetic pop to any landscape.

Bumble Bee Orange Calibrachoa Care

Plant in well-draining soil and water thoroughly to establish strong roots, then continue with moderate watering to keep the soil moist but not saturated. A weekly feeding with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer supports consistent flowering and healthy foliage. This calibrachoa adapts to slightly acidic to neutral soil pH, often found in standard potting mixes or garden beds. Full sun to partial sun is ideal for steady blooms, with at least four to six hours of daily light.

Pinch back any leggy or spent growth to encourage fresh stems and more buds. A mid-season trim can rejuvenate the plant if it begins to look sparse. In frosty climates, treat Bumble Bee Orange as an annual and remove spent plants in late fall. Container-grown specimens can be shielded from cold by placing them in a sheltered area until nighttime temperatures warm again.

Bumble Bee Orange Calibrachoa Spacing

Allow approximately 8 to 12 inches between plants in a row or bed, ensuring they have room to branch and form a lush mat of color. When grouping multiple calibrachoas together or combining them with other annuals, maintain at least a foot of open space on all sides for each plant’s trailing habit. If planting in containers, select a pot around 10 to 12 inches in diameter so the roots have ample room for vigorous growth.
