Superbells® Morning Star™ Calibrachoa are perfectly suited for window boxes, hanging baskets, containers, or garden borders.
Superbells® Morning Star™ Calibrachoa has a low mounding and trailing habit geared towards container spillers or garden border interest. They are heat and drought tolerant which will carry their performance through intense summers. Superbells® Morning Star™ Calibrachoa blooms continuously attracting hummingbirds and pollinators with their bright and cheerful flowers. These plants are easy to care for and are well suited to all different types of containers or even mass border plantings.
Superbells® Morning Star Calibrachoa Care
Superbells® Morning Star™ Calibrachoa prefer part sun to sun with regular watering and well-drained soil. Prune or pinch before planting to increase fullness and branching of the plant. Fertilize regularly with a well-balanced water-soluble n-p-k ratio 24-12-17 fertilizer. Calibrachoas are sensitive to pH imbalances and iron deficiency so if fertilizing regularly and yellowing occurs, increase or decrease pH with a different fertilizer. Superbells® Morning Star™ Calibrachoa is a continuous bloomer and deadheading is not necessary but they will benefit from trimming back if the plant begins to look tired. Trimming will promote new growth and branching.
Superbells® Morning Star Calibrachoa are most commonly grown as annuals planted in spring and growing on until frost. They are hardy from zones 9a to 11b.
Superbells® Morning Star Calibrachoa Spacing
Superbells® Morning Star™ Calibrachoa are low growing, mounded trailers reaching a max height of 12inches, spreading from 12-24 inches, and trailing up to 30 inches. Plant 8-12 inches apart in garden border plantings or plant 5 1” plugs into 12” hanging baskets.

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. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
