SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa (Petunia x Calibrachoa hybrid 'SAKPXC032') lights up your garden with a dynamic blend of orange and gold tones, creating a memorable display from spring’s arrival until autumn’s chill. Each trumpet-shaped bloom showcases layered sunset shades that shift as the flowers mature, giving a lively two-toned effect. Derived from petunias and calibrachoas, this hybrid brings bigger petals and a resilience to rainy afternoons and scorching afternoons. Its self-cleaning flowers are a major plus for gardeners seeking continuous color without much upkeep.
This Petchoa features a robust, trailing habit that settles neatly into containers or drapes from hanging baskets. Butterflies and hummingbirds often stop to sample nectar, while deer usually pass it by. SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa was developed through advanced breeding programs and has a sturdy mounded shape that complements borders or mass plantings. Growers report success with window boxes, raised planters, and even groundcover designs where moderate watering is practical.
SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa Care
Plant after all frost threats subside, choosing a spot that provides at least six hours of direct light. A loamy, well-draining soil with a balanced pH helps prevent waterlogging and encourages healthy root growth. Water SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa regularly to maintain even moisture levels, and feed monthly with a water-soluble fertilizer to support constant bud formation.
Minimal deadheading is needed due to this hybrid’s self-shedding petals, though pinching early stems can increase branching. To shape the plant or encourage fresh flower waves, lightly prune any lanky stems in midsummer. Container-grown specimens benefit from steady watering, especially during warm spells, and good air circulation around the pot. If winter conditions are harsh, treat petchoas as a seasonal annual and discard after the first hard frost. In frost-free regions, mulch garden beds in winter and reduce watering as needed.
SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa Spacing
Space each plant around 14 to 22 inches apart if you’re planting in rows or creating mass groupings for a color theme. A container at least 12 inches wide offers enough room for healthy root systems and a well-filled mound of blooms.

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.
