This Calibrachoa hybrid was deemed to be a top-performing award winner in 2018. This annual plant attracts hummingbirds, is heat tolerant, and requires good drainage. Plant it in the ground only in well-drained soils or raised beds. It makes an excellent container plant but be sure that the container has a drainage hole.

Superbells® Evening Star Calibrachoa Care
Deadheading is not necessary to produce continuous flowers. Lightly trim this plant to promote branching and more flowers. Water the container only after the top of the soil becomes dry. Proper watering is the key to success when growing Calibrachoa Superbells Evening Star. Fertilize regularly with a water-soluble balanced fertilizer with a nutrient ratio at or close to 24-12-17. If you have been fertilizing regularly and the leaves have begun to yellow, the pH may have become out of range for proper iron uptake. Add Chelated iron or spray your plants with an iron foliar feed.
This plant is hardy in USDA zones 9 through 11. It may be difficult to grow as a house plant because of its watering and fertilizing needs, in addition to its high light requirement.
Superbells® Evening Star Calibrachoa Spacing
Space plants between 8 and 12 inches apart in a garden setting. They may be planted slightly closer together in a container but regularly trim them if they become too crowded.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
