SuperCal® Premium Bordeaux Petchoa (Petunia x Calibrachoa hybrid 'SAKPXC023') boasts large, trumpet-shaped blooms in a luxurious wine-red shade accented by a soft, dark throat. Each flower is perched on a vigorous, mounding form that can reach up to 22 inches tall and trail gracefully in hanging baskets. From mid-spring into autumn, it showers the garden with color without leaving messy residue on your hands. Plus, its self-cleaning nature cuts back on maintenance and saves time for gardeners.
Deer rarely bother SuperCal® Premium Bordeaux Petchoas, and their hybrid lineage provides resilience to heat and rain showers. Originating from a cross between petunias and calibrachoas, Petchoas inherit disease resistance alongside impressive bloom production. This annual thrives in borders, mass plantings, or as an eye-catching “spiller” in mixed containers. In our experience, the blooms bounce back quickly from rain and maintain a fresh look through changing conditions.
SuperCal® Premium Bordeaux Petchoa Care
Plant once night temperatures stay above freezing, and choose a location with well-draining soil of neutral to slightly acidic pH. Provide at least six hours of direct sun for the most robust flowering. Regular watering supports consistent growth, though the roots dislike sitting in soggy conditions. A balanced fertilizer applied monthly encourages abundant buds and healthy foliage.
Trim back leggy stems or faded blooms if you wish to promote branching and fresh growth. Container-grown plants benefit from a light cut in mid-summer to maintain a tidy shape and encourage a late-season flush of color. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings, then water thoroughly; avoid leaving the soil consistently saturated. When cooler weather approaches, move pots to a protected spot if you want to extend the blooms, but many gardeners treat petchoas as true annuals.
SuperCal® Premium Bordeaux Petchoa Spacing
Arrange plants about 14-18 inches apart if you’re creating a lively border or mass planting. In containers or hanging baskets, use a pot at least 12 inches wide to allow the root system to develop comfortably.

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.
