SuperCal® Premium Red Maple Petchoa (Petunia x Calibrachoa hybrid 'SAKPXC034') brings a surge of dramatic red blooms that catch the eye from late spring into autumn. This hybrid pairs generous flower size, inherited from petunias, with the bold coloration and nonsticky foliage of calibrachoas, resulting in a breathtaking show of color. The plant’s self-cleaning nature simplifies upkeep, and it continues blooming through heat spells, summer rainstorms, and early frosts. This hybrid excels in gardens and patios where reliable color is desired for the entire season.

The funnel-shaped flowers of SuperCal® Premium Red Maple Petchoa maintain intensity in challenging weather and stay attractive even after showers. Many gardeners favor this variety for borders, mass plantings, and hanging baskets, where hummingbirds and butterflies often stop by for a visit. The moderate growth habit allows for an easy transition from greenhouse to landscape settings, and the mounded form helps fill in open spaces quickly. Petchoas originate from advanced breeding programs that combine the hardiness of petunias with the colorful diversity of calibrachoas.

SuperCal® Premium Red Maple Petchoa Care

Plant once outdoor temperatures are consistently above freezing, placing each petchoa in a well-draining mix with an acidic to neutral pH. Provide partial to full sun, watering regularly so the top layer of soil stays mildly moist without flooding the planting site. A monthly dose of balanced fertilizer helps sustain robust growth and steady blooms. Light deadheading or removal of faded tips can enhance the plant’s overall appearance and encourage consistent color.

A midseason trim is often beneficial if stems become elongated, promoting renewed branching and fresh buds. If growing in containers, check moisture levels more frequently, as the root zone can dry out quickly in warm temperatures. When nighttime lows drop, petchoas can sometimes continue producing flowers in milder climates with minimal protection. In cooler regions, gardeners typically treat them as annuals, removing plants once the season ends.

SuperCal® Premium Red Maple Petchoa Spacing

Allow about 14 to 22 inches between plants for garden or border use, giving each one room to spread its trailing stems. In containers, select a pot at least 12 inches wide so the root system and branching growth can develop without restriction.
