Pass the Punch! You couldn’t ask for a better companion to spark up your summer baskets. In a luscious shade of watermelon, with a darker edge surrounding a tiny yellow eye, this stunner adds sophistication and cheer to your container combos. The flowers look like elf-sized petunias, but sans stickiness and constant deadheading. In fact, this calibrachoa keeps pumping flowers through fall without deadheading.
This award-winning calibrachoa hybrid is a standout for hanging baskets, patio pots, and raised beds. Watermelon Punch is a trailer who mounds to about 12 inches high and a dramatic 30 inches long as a spiller. In-ground planting requires excellent drainage to keep calibrachoas happy, so consider a raised bed, even a low one, for this purpose.
Superbells® Watermelon Punch Calibrachoa Care
Calibrachoas are such welcome, easy-care annuals. They will bloom in full sun or even in light shade with some fertilizer and a moderate pH level. They’ll tolerate light shade, but you’ll see the best flower production in full sun.
Some troubleshooting tips: the first thing to check if you are seeing weak growth, or yellow leaves, is to make sure you have been using a balanced fertilizer. In containers, you want to repeat at regular intervals according to the product instructions. According to Proven Winners the ratio to look for N-P-K is one approximately 24-12-17). Assuming you have been fertilizing, it could be that the pH of the soil has gone too high or too low. You can apply a foliar spray of iron chelate to “green up” the leaves again.
If desired to create bushier growth, you can prune calibrachoas at any time with a scissor, clippers or shears. They will respond to the pruning with beautiful full growth and a new crop of flowers in a few days.
Superbells® Watermelon Punch Calibrachoa Spacing
You’ll want to give this calibrachoa about eight to 12 inches of space, and expect it to spread 12-24 inches across, and trail up to 30 inches down.

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.

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.
