Plants Included In Fruit Salad Annual Combination
Calibrachoa and verbena combine to create an outstanding display of summer fun colors in this gorgeous heat loving combination. Cool deep purple trumpets with darker throats and glowing yellow centers coupled with vibrant yellow trumpets with slices of white, and little bouquets of frosted red florets work to give you a fun summertime vibe for your porch or patio. All three annuals will fill and then spill over the sides of your planter and attract hummingbirds and butterflies all summer long with their bright blooms.
Especially bred for their heat tolerance, these annuals will give you hundreds of colorful blooms all season long, even during the hottest months of summer. They thrive in full sun and will appreciate some afternoon shade in the hottest summer sun. Verbena tolerates even the poorest of soils, and will adapt well to the loose well draining soil that the calibrachoas will require making this combination an easy one to care for.
Fruit Salad Annual Combination Care
Full sun...Check! Well draining soil...Check! Now let's talk about fertilizer. As long continuous bloomers, these annuals will need a regular feeding schedule. Using a slow release fertilizer when first planted will give them what they need to quickly fill in the container they are in. Once established, a weekly feeding of a water soluble fertilizer, preferably a 24-12-17 ratio, will keep them in peak condition all season long. Calibrachoa are particular about soil pH. Should the foliage start to yellow, add a water soluble foliar spray of chelated iron to bring back the lush green color. As with all container plants, you will want to water more frequently. Letting the top two inches of soil dry slightly between waterings will keep your plants happy and healthy.
Plant the 4 ¼ inch pot plants in a 12 inch container, leaving up to 12 inches between plants for best performance. Consider using a larger planter for the 8 inch pot size plants or if you are opting to add more plants to your arrangement. Pinch plants back when first planting to encourage early branching and set the stage for more flowers, and do not be afraid to shear or prune plants back in mid summer if they get leggy or start to get out of bounds. This will also promote branching and a more compact look and result in renewed flowering.
Fruit Salad Annual Combination Ideas
Once again, these beautiful annuals are not restricted to just planting in containers or hanging baskets. With the proper full sun to light shade location and really well draining soil, you can mass these annuals out in your garden bed or landscape border with great impact. If your soil is heavy or compacted, consider using raised beds for enhanced drainage and good plant performance all summer and well into fall.
