Calibrachoa Superbells Tangerine Punch won multiple awards as a top performer in 2018. It’s heat tolerant, has average water and fertilizer needs, attracts hummingbirds, and will bloom continuously or rebloom without deadheading. It will perform well in the ground only if the soil is well-draining. It makes a great container plant. Add it to pots, hanging baskets, and window boxes, but make sure the container has a drainage hole. It will trail up to 24 inches over the container or along the ground in a mounding trailing habit.

Superbells® Tangerine Punch Calibrachoa Care

Make sure not to water too frequently. Let the soil surface dry between waterings. Allowing the roots to remain too wet can lead to root rot. A sign of root tor is that the plant is wilting even if the soil is moist. Pruning is not required but giving the plant a light trim will promote branching and more flowers. Fertilize regularly with a water-soluble fertilizer with a N-P-K ratio at or near 24-12-17. If the soil pH becomes too high or too low, Calibrachoa Superbells Tangerine Punch may have trouble taking up iron. Symptoms include leaves turning yellow, even with regular fertilization. Add Chelated iron to resolve this nutrient deficiency.

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® Tangerine Punch Calibrachoa Spacing

Calibrachoa Superbells Tangerine Punch should be planted between 8 and 12 inches apart in your garden. They can be spaced a minimum of 6 inches apart in a container garden but may need an occasional trim to keep the size in check.
